Pezeshkian reiterates Iran's resolve to resist external pressure
Iran's president says Tehran will not bow to force or threats, while stressing diplomacy as the path to resolving disputes.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran will continue to resist pressure, threats and policies based on force while defending the country's national rights and interests.
Speaking on September 24, Pezeshkian stressed that disputes involving Iran can only be resolved through diplomacy, positioning dialogue as the preferred approach to addressing tensions with other countries.
The president's remarks come amid ongoing friction between Iran and several Western governments, with Tehran repeatedly emphasizing its position that external pressure will not alter its policy positions.
Pezeshkian's comments reflect a stance Iranian officials have consistently maintained in recent statements, combining an insistence on resisting outside pressure with an expressed openness to resolving disputes through diplomatic channels.
No further details were given on which specific pressures or threats the president was referring to, though his remarks come against a backdrop of continued tensions between Iran and Western countries over a range of regional and international issues.
