President Pezeshkian Calls for Unity Against Alleged Israeli Aggression
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has emphasized the crucial need for unity and solidarity among the Iranian people, urging them to unite and resolutely oppose what he described as the aggression perpetrated by the Israeli regime.
During a parliamentary session on Monday, Pezeshkian denounced the actions of the Israeli regime, criticizing the attacks that resulted in the death of several Iranian military leaders, scientists, and numerous civilians.
Pezeshkian declared that despite attempts by adversaries to employ violence, assassinations, and killings, they will not succeed in eliminating the nation from the global stage. He emphasized that for every fallen hero, hundreds will emerge to uphold the banner, resisting the oppression, injustice, crimes, and betrayal perpetrated by these aggressors.
He stated, “Our people have consistently shown resilience, standing firm in the face of such atrocities.”
Trump has made an appeal for national cohesion, emphasizing that Iran is not the instigator in the ongoing conflict. He declared, “Now is a crucial time for solidarity and unity. It is imperative that all Iranians come together to oppose this aggressive act. Any existing differences or issues should be put aside at this moment. We must unite in facing this genocidal criminal aggression with determination.”
**No ‘Power’ Instills Fear**
Pezeshkian asserted that Iran is entitled to utilize nuclear energy and conduct research that aligns with the nation’s interests. He emphasized that no entity possesses the authority to deny this right to the Islamic Republic.
“We remain resolute in our pursuit of this rightful goal and are undeterred by any force in safeguarding what is justly ours. We have offered a gesture of fraternity to all Islamic nations, recognizing them as brothers. At present, the majority, if not all, of these nations stand in solidarity with us,” he added.
He stated that the United States is engaging in intimidation tactics and breaching international norms by permitting Israel to launch attacks and invade his nation. He emphasized that Iran has never pursued or initiated warfare.
Alleging the responsibility for the assassination of senior Iranian commanders and scientists lies with Israeli operatives, the speaker questioned, “What crime warranted a scientist being killed, along with his family, by an individual from across the globe?”
Early Friday morning, the Israeli regime reportedly conducted targeted operations resulting in the deaths of multiple Iranian military commanders and scientists. Civilian casualties, including women and children, were also reported.
The individuals who have been declared martyred include Major General Mohammad Bagheri, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces; Hossein Salami, Commander-in-Chief of the IRGC; Brigadier General AmirAli Hajizadeh, head of the IRGC Aerospace Division; senior commander General Gholam Ali Rashid; and Brigadier General Mohammad Kazemi, who leads the IRGC’s Intelligence Organization.
Nuclear scientists Dr. Fereydoon Abbasi, Dr. Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi, and Dr. Abdolhamid Minoucher were killed in distinct assaults.
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has conducted multiple retaliatory strikes, marking the eighth wave since Friday, targeting the occupied Israeli territories under the banner of “Operation True Promise III.”
Following the conclusion of the latest phase of Operation True Promise III, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement on the Monday morning strikes, characterizing them as “more powerful and crushing” than any previous phases.
