Speaking to reporters after opening a steel production factory in the southern city of Kerman on Saturday, Pezeshkian said the enemies are mistaken to imagine that Iran will starve to death under the pressure of sanctions.
He stated that Iran does not lack anything to become the best country in the region. “We can build an independent, free and privileged country. We have great capacities.”
The president noted that progress won’t take place by relying on outsiders. “We are able to reach the peak strongly and be the top nation in the region in all fields.”
“We are able to do very great jobs in Iran, provided that we have a long-term outlook. We must not look only at the foreign countries (for help),” Pezeshkian stressed.
In remarks on February 7, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei referred to the domestic and livelihood problems that most people are grappling with, maintaining that what solves the problems is the internal factor.
That is the “determination of committed officials and the cooperation of a united nation,” the Leader added.
The symbol of this national unity, the Leader said, is the 22 Bahman rally (the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution’s victory), “during which, God willing, we will once again witness such unity this year.”
