Navid Mohabi, a political analyst, said of Prince Reza Pahlavi's message about the gas shortage crisis that Iran's energy problems are the result of years of mismanagement and the Islamic Republic's lack of investment in infrastructure. According to him, workers and industrial owners are among the main victims of this situation, and even the end of the war alone will not solve the country's energy crisis.
Mohabi added that the restoration of damaged capacities and the development of Iran's oil and gas industry require extensive investment. Referring to the "prosperity project of Iran", he said that attracting foreign investment, utilizing energy resources and creating a transparent government can provide the basis for solving the crisis and economic prosperity, but he does not see the realization of these goals as possible as long as the Islamic Republic is in power.
