Web Desk: The President of Iran Masoud Pezeshkian has sent message to US to face Iranian force as Iranian people will not surrender and can’t be pressured or threaten.

Pezeshkian questions US actions

In a statement shared on social media platform X, Masoud Pezeshkian strongly criticised the United States over what he described as attacks on civilian facilities, food supplies and people’s sources of income.

The Iranian president questioned why civilian infrastructure and food were being targeted instead of military positions.

He said, “If America has the courage, let it face the Iranian army. Why are civilian infrastructure and food being targeted?”

Strong criticism over basic needs

Pezeshkian also criticised restrictions on people’s access to basic necessities.

He questioned why people were being deprived of water, food and medicines if the United States truly believed in humanitarian principles.

The Iranian president said targeting essential supplies could create further difficulties for ordinary people.

His comments came as tensions between Iran and the United States remain high, with Tehran strongly opposing pressure aimed at forcing the country to change its position.

The president’s statement also appeared to challenge the United States to deal directly with Iran’s military rather than targeting civilian facilities.

His remarks underline Tehran’s continued refusal to accept what it considers attempts to force Iran into submission.

A message aimed at Washington

The statement from Masoud Pezeshkian sends a clear message that Iran does not intend to back down easily.

By questioning attacks on food, infrastructure and essential supplies, he also placed the focus on the impact of tensions on ordinary people.

The Iranian leadership has repeatedly stressed that pressure will not force the country to surrender.

Pezeshkian’s latest comments add to that position, while also raising questions about how tensions between Washington and Tehran could develop further.
