Iran’s president marked Students Day with a strong message about dialogue and unity. On Sunday, President Massoud Pezeshkian spoke at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran. He used the day to encourage students to discuss ideas respectfully. Pezeshkian told students that public debates must happen with kindness, logic, and reason. He added that people should avoid mocking or accusing others. In addition, he stressed humility and warned against dividing people into “insiders and outsiders.”
He also addressed low voter turnout in recent elections. He said that everyone, whether they voted or not, belongs to Iran. Therefore, honest conversation is necessary to rebuild trust between people and leaders. “If we want to protect our country, we must answer people’s concerns,” Pezeshkian said. Moreover, he spoke about long-term problems, including electricity, water, and foreign currency shortages. He explained that these issues come from decades of policy imbalance and need serious solutions.
The president urged students to accept different opinions. He asked them not to disrupt others when they speak. “Everyone who spoke today wants this country to improve,” he said. In addition, he encouraged students to work with experts and experienced people to find real solutions. Students Day remembers the killing of three University of Tehran students on December 7, 1953. They were killed by police during the Pahlavi regime. Each year, students across Iran hold events and discussions to honor this day.
Pezeshkian emphasized that Iran needs cooperation and respectful dialogue. He explained that listening to different ideas and working together are vital for national unity. Students Day is a reminder that young people play a key role in the country’s future. He also highlighted humility and avoiding ridicule. By speaking respectfully and acting responsibly, citizens can face challenges together.
Students Day inspires everyone to solve problems and strengthen their nation. The president concluded by saying teamwork, patience, and honesty are essential. As a result, by accepting diverse opinions, the country can overcome shortages and rebuild trust. Therefore, Students Day calls on people to act openly, responsibly, and for the good of the nation.
