Pars Today – Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said the steadfast defense by Iran's armed forces, backed by the Iranian people and coordinated efforts across all sectors, disrupted the enemy's calculations.

According to Pars Today, citing IRIB, Pezeshkian, referring to recent developments in the region, said the Islamic Republic of Iran did not initiate the war. He said the opposing sides had calculated that by continuing along their chosen course, they could create conditions for Iran's collapse and thereby achieve their objectives.

Pezeshkian then referred to the nature of the attacks carried out against Iran, saying:

"The United States has used bases located on the territory of regional countries to target our facilities and centers. The question is: Which country launched the attack that struck the school in Minab? Clearly, it was carried out from some Muslim and neighboring countries. Naturally, we cannot accept such a situation. Our approach is not to target those countries; rather, our response will be directed at the facilities from which attacks against us are launched."

He questioned on what basis the United States should be allowed to establish military bases in the region and suppress Muslim countries that do not align with Washington, stressing that the Islamic Republic of Iran never considers itself subordinate to foreign powers and rejects submission to outside domination.

He said Iran has no intention of bullying any country, but will not bow to force either.

The Iranian president praised the bravery of Iran's armed forces, saying their sacrifices created scenes that astonished the world and attributing these achievements to the unparalleled support of the Iranian people.
