President Pezeshkian: 'Iran will not surrender to bullies'
President Masoud Pezeshkian says Iran “will not surrender to bullies,” urging the international community to condemn the US-Israeli act of aggression and to compel the perpetrators to respect international law.
In a post on his X account on Monday, Pezeshkian referred to his conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday, when he stressed that Iran did not initiate “this savage war.”
He added that defending against aggression is a natural right that Iran has mastered well.
Pointing to the role of US military bases in the region, Pezeshkian stated that their use against Iran — which was aimed at disrupting Tehran’s relations with its neighbors — must be halted.
He noted that peace and stability in the region cannot be achieved while ignoring a Zionist-American aggression against Iran.
The president reiterated that the country would not bow to coercion and once more called on the global community to condemn the attack and compel the aggressors to abide by international laws.
In another part of his remarks, Pezeshkian described the initiation of the war, based on false information and with expansionist motives, as a “medieval act in the twenty-first century.”
He emphasized that talk of halting aggression would be meaningless until assurances were given that no further attacks would target Iranian soil, reaffirming Iran’s firm stance against any violation of its territory.
On February 28, the United States and the Israeli regime launched an unprovoked war on Iran, assassinating former Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei as well as several top military commanders.
Iran immediately began to retaliate against the aggression by launching barrages of missile and drone attacks on the Israeli-occupied territories as well as on the US bases in regional countries.
