Pezeshkian: Enemies will take dream of Iran’s surrender to grave

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian says the enemies will take the dream of Iran’s surrender to the grave, lauding the nation for their perseverance in the face of US-Israeli atrocities.

Speaking in a televised message on Saturday, Pezeshkian offered his condolences over the martyrdom of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, military commanders, and innocent students in a recent US-Israeli aggression.

The regimes in Washington and Tel Aviv launched their unprovoked military assault on February 28, assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and top military commanders.

Iran began to swiftly retaliate against the criminal aggression by launching barrages of missile and drone attacks on the Israeli-occupied territories as well as on the US bases in regional countries.

Pezeshkian declared that enemies who hope Iran will capitulate “will take that dream to the grave,” saying Iran remains bound to international law, human rights and principled conduct—standards the aggressors ignore.

Pezeshkian emphasized that every Iranian, regardless of faith or background, by being present contributes to defending the country’s territorial integrity and creates a sense of disillusionment among our enemies.

Pezeshkian reaffirms Iran’s commitment to defend sovereignty, pursue lasting peace

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian reaffirms Iran’s commitment to defend its sovereignty while pursuing lasting peace amid US-Israeli aggression against the country.

He urged all Iranians to set aside internal, stand together, and defend the homeland with full strength, promising to lead the country out of the crisis.

He reiterated that Iran has never planned, nor will ever plan, an invasion of any neighbor.

“We have repeatedly said that they are our brothers. We aim to work hand‑in‑hand with our dear brothers and neighbors in the region to establish lasting peace and stability, and we hope this goal will be achieved,” he noted.

Pezeshkian said a decision made yesterday by the Interim Leadership Council was conveyed to the armed forces, prohibiting attacks on neighboring countries “unless those countries launch an attack on us.”

He added that he believes that such issues should be settled through diplomatic channels, warning that armed conflict would only create further problems with neighboring states.

Pezeshkian warned regional groups and outside powers not to become “puppets of imperialism,” urging that any internal disputes be resolved peacefully rather than being exploited by Israel or the United States.
