Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said foreign powers cannot force Iran to surrender through military pressure. Moreover, he highlighted Iranian resilience as the nation’s key strength. He explained that the people’s unity and determination protect the country in difficult times.
Pezeshkian said his administration began during very challenging events. However, these hardships revealed new opportunities for the government and society. In addition, they showed hidden strengths in both citizens and officials.
He mentioned that past conflicts, such as the eight-year Iran–Iraq war and a recent 12-day clash, proved the importance of public support. As a result, Iranian resilience keeps the nation united against external threats. Citizens consistently choose their country over foreign influence.
The president criticized the United States and Israel for miscalculating the situation. For example, they assumed that military attacks could turn people against the government. “They imagined that bombing for a few days would cause protests,” he said. “However, citizens stayed loyal and foiled their plans.”
Pezeshkian stressed that solving national challenges requires everyone’s participation. In addition, public engagement is vital regardless of ethnicity, gender, or language. He explained that people must work together to overcome difficulties.
He warned that dividing citizens into “insiders” and “outsiders” weakens unity. Instead, dignity, pride, and cooperation strengthen Iran. Iranian resilience depends on solidarity among the people and government.
The president repeated that enemies must understand the power of Iranian resilience. Therefore, no amount of military equipment or aircraft can force Iran to surrender. He said the nation remains determined, resistant, and steadfast. “Finally, the enemy cannot impose its demands on a nation that values freedom and dignity,” he added.
Pezeshkian concluded that national pride, public participation, and solidarity make Iran stronger every day. Moreover, military pressure cannot change the will of the people. Iranian resilience ensures the country will continue to defend its sovereignty and remain united.
As a result, Iran remains committed to protecting its citizens and standing firm against threats. In addition, the determination and unity of the people make the nation stronger and more resilient than ever.
