Pezeshkian: No power can bully us if we stand united
Hassan Khomeini says people expect officials to exert courage in decisions
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Saturday called for unity among all sectors to address various challenges across the country, stressing that, “If we are united, no power can bully us.”
Accompanied by his cabinet members, Pezeshkian made the remarks during a visit to the mausoleum of the late founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini to renew allegiance with his ideals on the occasion of the 46th anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Since taking office last July, the Iranian president has repeatedly called for unity among different political factions in Iran to resolve the country’s problems.
Referring to the unity among Muslim countries, the president added that if the Muslim countries are united and take a united stance against the Israeli regime, the “small regime” cannot challenge the entire Muslim countries in the region.
Meanwhile, the grandson of Imam Khomeini, Seyyed Hassan Khomeini, delivered a speech during the visit by the cabinet members.
He told the ministers that the people who have elected the officials expect them to have courage when they make a decision for the country.
He added that Iranians saw such courage in Pezeshkian and voted for him.
Since Friday, nationwide celebrations have begun in the country to mark the 46th anniversary of the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
The Ten-Day Dawn celebrations begin on the 12th day of the Iranian month of Bahman in the Persian calendar which marks the return of the late founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, to Iran after several years of living in exile.
The Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979 led to overthrowing of former Iranian monarch Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
By toppling the Western-backed Pahlavi regime 46 years ago, the Iranian nation ended 2,500 years of monarchic rule and established a new political system – a republic based on Islamic values and democracy.
