“We are not seeking war, but we will absolutely not bow to the enemy’s force and bullying,” Pezeshkian said on Wednesday, addressing the 30th National Export Day ceremony, where the country’s leading exporters were honored.
The president said the United States had underestimated Iran’s ability to withstand military attacks and sanctions, adding that the Iranian nation had demonstrated its resilience and would continue to stand firm.
“The Americans imagine we cannot withstand their attacks and sanctions, but we will stand firm,” he said.
Pezeshkian also criticized Washington for launching military attacks against Iran while negotiations were underway. He referred to the assassination of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, military commanders and scientists, as well as attacks that killed students.
