TEHRAN – In a speech on Wednesday in Buscher, southern Iran, President Maud Pezeshkian reaffirmed Iran’s commitment to peaceful relations while rebelliously denies foreign coercion.
“We are seeking conflict with the country,” he declared, calling Tehran “a brotherhood with all his neighbours” and “brothers, sisters and local partners.”
Pezeschkian’s remarks included acute condemnation of US policies targeting President Donald Trump’s provocative character of Iran and accusations of regional destabilization.
“It is the United States that is in the midst of arming Israel to slaughter the Palestinians of Gaza,” he argued, denounced Washington’s decades of military support for Tel Aviv’s regime.
The president also criticized the US’s demands to limit Iran’s defensive capabilities.
“They demand that we abandon our missiles so that we can bomb us without consequences, just as Israel has devastated Gaza,” he insisted.
Pezeschkian further condemned Washington’s contradictory stance on diplomacy.
He pointed out that the US will “close all doors” through punitive sanctions aimed at strangling Iran’s resilience.
The president questioned the integrity of the US overture: “If America really wants to negotiate, why would it interfere with any opportunity for peace?”
“What rights do they occupy our area, assassinate our people, and preach us about security?” Pezeshkian threatens “hypocritical” portrayal of Iran in Washington He criticized him and added.
The speech revived the “maximum pressure” campaign on Tehran following Trump’s recent signing of the President of the National Security Memorandum (NSPM).
Trump was moved with warnings that any retaliation and threats against him would be “eliminated.”
A few days later, Ayatollah, the leader of the Islamic Revolution, refused to negotiate with the United States, and in light of Trump’s conflicting approach and Iran’s past experience, he said that such consultations were “wise and wise.” But there’s no honor.”
He also highlighted the history of Washington’s abolition of the agreement, particularly the 2018 withdrawal from the JCPOA nuclear deal, which exacerbated local tensions.
“Our strength lies not in obedience, but in dignity and independence,” Pezeschkian said.
