Pezeshkian: National unity is overriding priority, we shouldn’t give in to enemies’ threats

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has described national unity as the overriding priority in the country, calling upon all strata of society to join forces to overcome existing problems.

He made the remarks at a meeting between Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and government officials in the capital, Tehran, on Saturday evening.

The gathering brought together the heads of the three branches of government, along with senior civil and military officials. Former officials and various social and cultural activists were also in attendance.

“No power can bring to a standstill a nation that is united, follows a leader and moves towards a direction. We are capable of disrupting flawed calculations. We should not capitulate to any threat that enemies would make. This is possible using unity and cohesion.

“This is God's testing. We would be able to stand up to enemies if we keep up with such an approach,” Pezeshkian pointed out.

He noted that Iranians are capable of overcoming all their problems.

“If divisions arise and differences emerge, we will be able to achieve the goal. We must, therefore, join hands, open up our hearts, put up with each other, and not easily get angry or lose temper,” Pezeshkian said.
