Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has vowed that the country will continue its resistance with full strength as tensions escalate, warning that aggressors will be made to regret their actions.
In a post on X, Pezeshkian said Iran has consistently opposed war and sought to protect the interests of its people and regional security by avoiding conflict.
جمهوری اسلامی ایران همواره با جنگ مخالف بوده و حفظ منافع مردم و امنیت منطقه را در پرهیز از آتش افروزی دانسته است. اما چنانکه تا امروز در برابر تجاوز، دلیرانه به دفاع برخاسته است این مقاومت را تا پشیمانی کامل متجاوزان با قوت ادامه خواهد داد و پاسدار حقوق ملت بزرگ ایران خواهد بود.

“Just as it has boldly risen to defend against aggression up to this day, it will continue this resistance with full strength until the aggressors are brought to complete regret,” Pezeshkian said.
He added that Iran would remain committed to protecting what he called “the rights of the great Iranian nation.”
The remarks come amid heightened regional tensions, with Tehran continuing to signal that it will respond firmly to any further aggression.
