In a post on his X account on Sunday, Esmaeil Baqaei said the anniversary of the National Day of Countering Global Arrogance is “a reminder of Iranians' collective epic struggle to live in dignity and freedom, free from any foreign interference and alien domination.”
“Our nation cannot afford to forget the US's long and dark history of unlawful & destabilizing interventions, in particular the 1953 USA- and British-instigated coup d'état that overthrew Iran's first democratically elected government and reinstated the monarchical dictatorship, and the US's all-out support for Saddam regime during 8 year-long imposed war,” he said.
“US's unlawful interference and cruel pressures against Iran continue up to now, including in the form of inhuman sanctions and unlimited support for Israeli rogue behavior,” the spokesman added.
“We have learned, though, that living in dignity and preserving national sovereignty and territorial integrity require steadfastness and perseverance by counting on national potentials and capabilities,” Baqaei stated.
