Iran President Masoud Pezeshkian has praised the country’s military for standing up to the armies of the “great powers.”
“The performance of the country’s armed forces in the face of pressures and threats has surprised many analysts; in such a way that a country, despite its problems, has been able to stand up to great powers and their widespread support,” he said in a video statement.
“In contrast, the enemies – who have failed to achieve their goals – are attacking civilian infrastructure, including schools, hospitals, universities, and public places in clear violation of international law.”
Pezeshkian described US-Israeli attacks “as a sign of the height of desperation and defeat of the nation’s enemies.”
“The fact that on the one hand they were saying they wanted to bring the Iranian people to progress, and on the other hand they claimed they wanted to return our country to ‘the Stone Age’ and destroy our civilisation, clearly demonstrates the nature of the aggressors and their goals in attacking our country.”
