During a ceremony on Monday, Pezeshkian said, “If we effectively manage our relationships with our neighbors, we can successfully overcome external pressures.”
Referring to the 12-day war imposed on the country and the people’s support for the Islamic Republic, the president said, “In a world where bullies attempt to impose their will on others, it is our reliance on the people that provides us with the strength and capability to resist greed.”
Elsewhere in his remarks, Pezeshkian pointed to the administration’s efforts to address imbalances, particularly in the energy sector, adding that significant progress has been made in developing solar power plants and that the fuel reserves for power plants are in much better condition compared to last year.
