The Unity Government began its work at a time when the country was facing structural and accumulated problems; from energy imbalance and budget deficit to the deterioration of the banking system and chronic inflation. These issues, as a legacy of incorrect policymaking and costs inherited from previous governments, weighed even more heavily on the fourteenth government. At this juncture, the assassination of martyr Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, as a security factor, showed that the government would not be tested under normal conditions.

Maintaining Public Services and Crisis Management
The Unity Government has managed to maintain the continuity of public services and the ongoing affairs of the country during one of the most tense periods. These actions, in a context where security and economic pressures exist simultaneously, have prevented widespread disruption in people's daily lives. However, the success of the government is not just in managing crises, but it must also use this capital to reform the structures that reproduce crises.
The Unity Government cannot remain in the role of a rescuer forever. Society will eventually question a government that merely prevents collapse as to why it has not corrected the path of decline. In this regard, unity must truly transform into structural reforms and fair distribution of costs.
If the government wants to achieve sustainable reforms, it must ask itself why it incurs more costs each year to manage the same crises. Energy imbalance, budget deficit, and economic problems are among the challenges that require serious attention. In this context, the President can use his personal capital to engage with various institutions and explain difficult decisions.
