Muhammad Jaafar Campanh, the acting vice president of Masoud Mazikian, described the economic crisis in the country as an "economic war" and said that there is no way to win this war except for the cooperation of the people and reducing the consumption of gas and electricity. Gampana said: "In order for us to continue to stand on our feet, increase the state's capabilities and win this economic war, we have no other way than the cooperation and support of the people; both in gas consumption and in electricity consumption." Stressing the need to avoid industrial gas cuts and production disruptions, he asked people to help manage the energy shortage by lowering the temperature of heating appliances and consuming less gas.
