Pezeshkian Hits Back at Trump, Asserts Iran’s Defiance Against External Pressure

During an official visit to Kermanshah Province on Wednesday, Iranian President Pezeshkian emphatically stated that the nation’s steadfast determination remains unbreakable, despite enduring relentless threats and pressure for nearly fifty years.

In a compelling address to local elites, intellectuals, and cultural luminaries, the president fervently emphasized the resilience, honor, bravery, patience, and spirit of sacrifice of the Iranian people. These qualities, he asserted, have empowered them to endure 47 years of unsuccessful efforts by adversaries to destabilize the Islamic Republic.

Pezeshkian strongly dismissed allegations that Iran is a source of instability in the region, highlighting the perceived hypocrisy of its critics who have caused significant suffering to vulnerable populations, such as in Gaza, where 60,000 women and children have reportedly died due to bombings and a lack of essential resources like water and medicine. He argued that the real cause of Iran’s difficulties stems from the oppressive sanctions, economic terrorism, and aggressive policies promoted by antagonistic foreign entities.

In response to the assassinations of Iranian scientists, the president emphasized that those responsible were not Iranian nationals, but rather the very entities currently leveling accusations against Iran.

He criticized the significant resources gathered by the US and its allies in a futile attempt to create internal discord, highlighting their core misunderstanding of the resilient spirit of the courageous Iranian populace, which remains unconquerable.

In a recent statement, Pezeshkian highlighted Iran’s unwavering dedication to regional collaboration, emphasizing the country’s agreements of brotherhood and friendship with nearby nations and its unequivocal refusal of territorial expansion. He asserted that Iran’s primary objective is to enhance the dignity and pride of its citizens, a conviction firmly entrenched in the nation’s historical and cultural fabric. Although the Islamic Republic does not pursue confrontation, it remains resolute in maintaining its self-respect and will not exchange it for an illusory peace.

The call was made for national unity among all Iranians, emphasizing inclusivity across language, religion, and belief as fundamental to robust nation-building. Citizens were encouraged to aspire to become a regional exemplar, as envisioned by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution.

In a conclusive statement, Pezeshkian dismissed threats as mere illusions cultivated by Iran’s adversaries, highlighting the actions and aggression of the Zionist regime against Palestinians as the genuine source of instability. With a unified population, he asserted, Iran is poised to continue its rise and evolve into a thriving, prosperous nation.
