TEHRAN, May 15 (Xinhua) — Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has strongly condemned U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent anti-Tehran remarks, calling them evidence of his inability to understand the true character of the Iranian people.
M. Pezeshkian made this statement on Wednesday evening at a meeting with representatives of the Iranian elite and cultural figures in the province of Kermanshah after D. Trump’s statements in Riyadh the day before. This is stated in a statement published on the website of the Iranian president’s office.
On Tuesday, Trump called Iran the “most destructive force” in the Middle East and accused it of fomenting regional instability, vowing that the United States would never allow the country to possess nuclear weapons.
In response, M. Pezeshkian stated that these statements by D. Trump testify to his inability to understand the “truth, honor, generosity and selflessness” of the Iranian people.
He added that while D. Trump was portraying Iran as a source of regional instability, thousands of women and children were killed as a result of Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip, whose residents are also deprived of water and medicine.
According to the Iranian president, over the past 47 years, the United States and its allies have been straining every nerve to bring the Iranian government and people to their knees, but they have not succeeded and will not succeed.
Expressing confidence in Iran’s resilience, the president said his country would continue to develop, relying on its scientists, intellectuals and entrepreneurs. Although Iran does not seek war, it will never trade its honor and glory for peace, Pezeshkian concluded. –0–
