Iran does not seek war, but efforts to tear the revolution will not succumb to us, President Masuud Pezeskian said.
Iranian President Masudo Pezeshkian has accused the US of doing a false diplomatic overture while trying to undermine its government.
Pezeschkian spoke to the Tehran crowd on Monday to celebrate the 46th anniversary of the Iranian revolution, saying President Donald Trump was taking the country “knee-down” with him.
Iran is increasingly irritated with Trump after regaining the “maximum pressure” campaign he began against the country during his first term. The move is attempting to override Iran’s oil exports and its nuclear activity. Trump has also suggested he would like to sign a deal with Iran for a nuclear program that will advance.
“Trump says he wants to negotiate, but at the same time he will sign off on any possible plot to bring this revolution to his knees,” Pezeschkian said in the city’s Azadi square, where the US president said earlier this month. mentioned reconsidering sanctions against Tehran. . “He claims to be open to dialogue, but while he says so, he accusssssssssssssss Iran of making the region unstable.”
“We are not looking for war,” Pezeschkian said. Iran added, “Never succumbs to foreigners.”
An annual celebration of Iranian 10 days marking the expulsion of Shah Mohammad Reza Pallavi on January 31st, the return of Ayatollah Ruhola Khomeini from exile to Tehran in 1979.
Iranian officials have urged citizens to attend the festival in large numbers this year after the announcement of Trump’s sanctions. Hundreds of thousands of people flooded the streets of the metropolitan city on Monday. From Bandar Abbas in the south to Rasht in the north. Many people chanted slogans against the US and Israel, carrying portraits of the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the Iranian flag, the television show. The American flag was also on fire.
“When we hold our hands together, we can solve the problems of all countries,” Pezeschkian said.
The Iranian president also chose the United States for his support of Israel to “bomb the innocent people in Gaza, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria and where it wants.”
“We claim that the United States is working for peace,” he said. “Who really disrupts the peace in this region? Who is responsible for the murder, destruction and anxiety?”
On February 4, Trump said he hopes to “trade” with Iran even if he announces new sanctions against the country.
Trump also warned the same day that if Iran tried to assassinate him, the country would be “exterminated.” “I left the instructions – if they do that, they will be wiped out. There’s nothing left,” Trump said.
In November 2024, the US Department of Justice said it had hampered an Iranian conspiracy to kill Trump. At the time, Iranian officials denied the claim.
