President Pezeshkian says Iran will not bow to threats from United States

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Wednesday that the Muslims bowed before the Almighty Allah and that no one could intimidate the Islamic Republic of Iran, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

In a series of tweets, he asked the US officials to stop threatening Iran with military strikes.

We Muslims have already surrendered to the Almighty; no one else can make us surrender.

In my call with Iraq's PM @AliFalihAlzaidy, I urged the US to remove military threats from our region; followers of the Shia school cannot be coerced by force. #Iran #Iraq https://t.co/9Fh1XJyl0F

If politics is reduced to power, the result is today's world: chaos, oppression, injustice, and piracy

In our national ethos and religious worldview, power without ethics is hollow. Today، Iran represents ethical, responsible power; its enemies embody reckless & unchecked force.

Iran’s president further said that there were injustices, lawlessness and cruelty in the present-day world.

This was the consequence, he added, of restricting politics to power only.

“Iran, on the contrary, presents itself as a responsible state; a state which is morally on high grounds,” Pezeshkian said.
