Speaking at a ceremony on Monday marking the 72nd anniversary of the establishment of Iran Dairy Industries Company, Pezeshkian referred to enemy plots and schemes aimed at harming the Islamic Republic and said the Leader has instructed officials to bring the current no-war, no-peace situation to an end.
He said Iran could negotiate and resolve issues while preserving its dignity, emphasizing that Tehran is committed to dialogue and diplomacy. “We can negotiate with dignity and bring the issue to an end with dignity,” he said.
Pezeshkian added that logic dictates that Iran should avoid war if it could secure its rights through negotiations. However, he stressed, “We will not surrender to force and bullying.”
The president also recalled his address to the United Nations General Assembly, saying he had emphasized that Iran is prepared for negotiations based on justice and under equal conditions, while insisting on its legitimate rights.
“We seek our rights, but we will not submit to coercion,” he underlined.
