President calls for mass turnout at Islamic Revolution anniversary rallies
President Masoud Pezeshkian has called on the Iranian nation to participate extensively in the upcoming demonstrations marking the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, describing the event as a vital display of national unity against external pressures.
Speaking on Tuesday during an inauguration ceremony for hundreds of projects under the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development, the president said the current geopolitical climate is "sensitive and decisive" for the future of the Islamic Republic.
President Pezeshkian said a large turnout for the 22nd of Bahman (February 11) marches would serve as a firm response to enemies who are actively seeking to undermine Iran’s internal cohesion and add to the people’s hardships.
"Our adversaries are striving to weaken our national unity, consensus, and solidarity," Pezeshkian said.
"The challenges we face are the result of pressures and policies imposed by governments that claim to support democracy and human rights, yet pursue a path of increasing pressure on the Iranian people."
The president said it is essential for the people to show their strength and national authority at this juncture.
"The message of this presence to the enemies and global public opinion will be that the Iranian nation stands together to protect their country and their national interests."

The president said the primary message of the demonstrations to the international community would be the Iranian people's unwavering commitment to their national interests and territorial integrity.
Acknowledging domestic concerns about the economy, the president said that despite the pressures, the Iranian people would not retreat from their fundamental principles.
The Iranian president said a high-profile turnout would demonstrate to the world that the "will of the nation remains unbroken" in the face of international sanctions and coercive diplomacy.
