Iranian nation delivered crushing response to enemy plots amid nationwide rallies: Pezeshkian
President Masoud Pezeshkian has hailed the “magnificent and epic” presence of millions of Iranians in nationwide rallies against the recent riots, saying the massive turnout has neutralized the “sinister designs” of foreign enemies and their mercenaries.
In a message to the nation following Monday’s demonstrations, the president expressed deep gratitude for the people’s “steadfastness and authority” in the face of unrest and foreign intervention.
“I bow before the greatness of your powerful will and authoritative presence,” he said.
He described the rallies as a sign of “unparalleled vigilance and responsibility” in defending religious and national ideals against “oppressive enemies and dependent terrorists.”
Despite internal grievances, he noted, national interests and territorial integrity remained the unifying force for marchers.
Pezeshkian stressed that the unity displayed across all provinces formed a barrier against the “criminal paths” of the United States, its allies, and the Israeli regime.
He added that the rallies have made the government “even more determined” to address the country’s challenges from within.
Rallies began as early as 9 a.m. across the country, with Fars News Agency reporting around three million participants in Tehran alone.
Demonstrators carried placards denouncing foreign interference and expressing support for the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.
The demonstrations came in response to days of foreign-backed riots, during which dozens of security personnel were killed in terrorist attacks. The government has declared three days of national mourning.
While officials have acknowledged legitimate economic grievances, linked to unilateral US sanctions targeting Iran’s oil and banking sectors, they have drawn a clear distinction between peaceful protest and violent rioting.
“The nation should not allow rioters to foment insecurity,” Pezeshkian said earlier, arguing that training and support provided to vandals by Washington and Tel Aviv had turned domestic concerns into a “dirty war” against the Islamic Republic.
