Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian claimed that 'foreign adversaries' cannot force Iran into surrender through military conflict, affirming that his administration will stand firmly against excessive demands while prioritizing domestic economic resilience.

Speaking during a meeting with provincial governors and mayors of metropolises, Pezeshkian underscored the government's stance amid external pressures.

"Enemies cannot make our Iran surrender through war," Pezeshkian stated. "We stand firmly against their lies and excessive demands, and on this path, we must make every effort to enhance the people's resilience and resolve their concerns and anxieties."

Addressing domestic economic policy, Pezeshkian claimed that public satisfaction remains the government's core benchmark in subsidy allocation, emphasizing that aiding the disadvantaged is the essence of social justice.

"Our intention and objective is to provide greater support to those in need; this represents true justice," Pezeshkian said. "Our goal in the government and the provinces is to ensure that goods are made available to people in border and underprivileged provinces at cheaper rates than in Tehran and central provinces, and if necessary, we will provide subsidies to realize this objective."

The Iranian president called for popular unity to navigate foreign-imposed pressures, emphasizing that diplomacy and dialogue remain active avenues supported by the country's highest authority.

"We must overcome the challenges and crises that enemies have created for our country today through the companionship and cooperation of the people," Pezeshkian said, adding: "We are trying to resolve the problem through dialogue, and in this regard, the Supreme Leader has also granted authorities to the government."
