President: Iran Not to Bow to US Pressure
President Masoud Pezeshkian lashed out at the United States for supporting the Israeli aerial strikes against Iran, stating that Washington mistakenly thinks that it can impose its demands on Tehran through pressure.
During a telephone conversation with Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Pezeshkian said the recent crimes by the Zionist regime clearly indicate that it inherently has an aggressive nature and does not value human lives.“I am confident that solidarity and coordination among Islamic countries can bring the Zionist regime to heel and put an end to its aggression, especially against the innocent people of Gaza," he added.The US, despite consistently stating that Israel would not take any action against Iran without their approval or coordination, is unfortunately supporting the Zionist regime’s attacks against Iran, and thinks that it can force its demands on Iran through pressure, President Pezeshkian noted. “The Islamic Republic of Iran is fully capable of defending itself and will not hesitate to counter any violation of its territory and the rights of its people,” he continued.
In brazen contravention of international law, the Israeli regime conducted a military aggression on Iran on Friday, bombing nuclear infrastructure and assassinating several nuclear scientists, high-ranking military commanders and civilians—including children and women.Less than 24 hours after the Israeli assault, Iran launched its retaliatory operation – dubbed Operation True Promise III -- by firing a barrage of missiles towards the occupied Palestinian territories.
The Emir of Qatar, for his part, said Doha strongly condemns Israel's "cowardly act of aggression" and believes that "Iran reserves the right to respond".He added that Qatar stands alongside Iran, and supports its doctrine of engagement and dialogue to resolve disputes and establish peace and security. Qatar, in its diplomatic interactions, will convey Iran’s stance to other countries worldwide, and supports the collective cooperation and pressure necessary to stop the Zionist regime’s assault, he continued.
