Former Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has called for immediate governance reforms and a strategic approach to resolving the country’s ongoing conflict, warning that the stability of the nation depends on decisive political action.
Rouhani made the remarks while addressing members of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, where he stressed that the preservation of the state and its political system now requires fundamental changes in governance. He pointed to growing public dissatisfaction, urging the leadership to align its decisions more closely with the expectations of the Iranian people.
According to him, Iran must adopt a balanced strategy that sustains national resistance while actively pursuing a dignified and realistic end to the conflict. He said policymakers should formally incorporate multiple scenarios into national planning, including both escalation and de-escalation pathways, to ensure flexibility in response to evolving conditions.

Rouhani also highlighted the strategic importance of safeguarding key national assets, particularly Iran’s islands in the Persian Gulf and control of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global route for oil shipments. He stressed that securing these assets remains critical to both national security and economic stability.
His comments reflect rising concern within Iran’s political circles over the prolonged nature of the conflict and its impact on governance and public confidence. Observers say the intervention signals a broader internal push for reforms that balance military resilience with political pragmatism.
The former president’s stance adds to growing debate within the country over how best to navigate the current crisis, as pressure mounts for policies that can secure both national interests and long-term stability.
