Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian declared Saturday that Iran “won’t surrender” to the #UnitedStates, #accusing #Washington of targeting civilians and trying to force the country into #submission.
“If #Americans are warriors, let them face our valiant military forces. Why wage war on civilian #infrastructure, food supplies, and livelihoods? If they’re human, why deny #people #access to water, food, and medicine? Our people can’t be bullied into submission. Iran won’t surrender,” Pezeshkian wrote on X.
The defiant message followed similar remarks Pezeshkian delivered Friday in New Delhi, where he is #attending the BRICS summit amid the continuing war with the United States and #Israel.
“Iran has successfully stood against Israel and the U.S.,” Pezeshkian said while addressing a gathering of Indian #religious #leaders, intellectuals, and business #representatives.
“Since we are seeking truth and #justice, we will not yield in front of bullying #arrogance,” he said.
