President reaffirms Iran will not cave in to bullying
President Masoud Pezeshkian on Saturday reiterated that the Islamic Republic will not give in to bullying and the troubles the enemies have created for the country.
Addressing a group of Iranian Paralympics medalists in Tehran, Pezeshkian praised the disabled athletes who managed to win medals during the latest Paralympics Games, which were held in France’s capital in 2024.
“You did not give in to problems, we either. Despite all the problems they have caused and the wounds they have inflicted upon the body of our society, will not give in to the problems and the bullying,” the Iranian president said.
He was referring to the sanctions and restrictions that the country’s enemies have imposed on Iran and their support for the recent riots that led to the death of thousands of Iranians in January.
The Iranian president underlined that the government will do its utmost to overcome all the shortages and hardships through unity.
More than 3,000 Iranians were killed during the last month’s riots which were triggered by protests over economic problems.
Sanctions imposed on Iran by Western countries during the past decades have led to the devaluation of Iran’s currency, which have worsened economic woes in Iran.
