Iran (IMNA) - Speaking to foreign ambassadors ahead of the 46th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, Pezeshkian emphasized Iran's dedication to peace, regional stability, and opposition to weapons of mass destruction.
Pezeshkian recalled Iran's history of facing conspiracies and terrorist attacks since its revolution, including the assassination of political, religious, and cultural figures. He stated that Iran was forced into war shortly after the revolution, facing an aggressor backed by numerous countries. Despite limited resources, the Iranian people's resilience and faith enabled them to defend their land.
“The very people who committed countless terrorist acts against us are now accusing us of supporting terrorism,” Pezeshkian said.
Pezeshkian condemned the recent assassination attempt on Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, criticizing global media for misrepresenting Iran as a source of instability while ignoring the killing of over 14,000 children in Gaza. He also criticized Western powers for their silence on Israeli war crimes, such as the bombing of hospitals and the killing of women and children. “What kind of human rights allows the burial of children under the rubble?” he questioned.
Pezeshkian rejected claims about Iran’s nuclear ambitions, reiterating that the Supreme Leader has issued a religious decree against weapons of mass destruction. “Even those who accuse us know that our doctrine does not permit mass killings. This is verifiable at any time,” he stated. He also pointed to Israel’s history of regional aggression, asking, “Israel has invaded every neighboring country. They claim to uphold human rights, yet who expelled Palestinians from their land? What human rights justify the forced displacement of people from their homes?”.
He stated that true peace can only be achieved when justice prevails, regardless of race, nationality, or belief. “If we defend Gaza and Palestine, it is because we stand with the oppressed whose rights have been stolen,” he said.
Addressing the ambassadors, Pezeshkian called for greater global cooperation. “This planet is too precious to be destroyed by war and injustice. Let us work together to build a world where humanity thrives,” he urged.
Pezeshkian reiterated Iran’s commitment to strengthening ties with its neighbors and advancing strategic partnerships with China and Russia. He expressed Iran’s willingness to sign agreements with all countries based on mutual respect and equality.
“I hope your presence here will contribute to stronger ties between our nations,” he told the ambassadors.
