Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian sends strong message to US
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.
