  • Pezeshkian: Iran can withstand sanctions without US talks
    Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian speaks during a memorial at the parliament in Tehran, Iran, Wednesday, May 21, 2025, for the late President Ebrahim Raisi and several officials, who were killed in a helicopter crash in the country's northwest last year (AP)

Iran is capable of overcoming existing challenges, including sanctions, without relying on indirect Iran-US nuclear talks, affirmed Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.

Speaking at a ceremony marking the anniversary of the Islamic Azad University, Pezeshkian dismissed the idea that Iran’s survival depends on talks.

“It’s not like we will die of hunger if they [Americans] do not want to negotiate with us and sanction us,” he indicated.

Stressing national unity, the Iranian president added, “There are hundreds of ways to overcome the problems, and all we need to do is to join hands and unite together.”

Pezeshkian emphasized that the country’s strength lies in its internal cohesion.

“Everyone is talking about whether or not the United States will reach a deal with Iran, but the most important issue before the nation is cohesion and avoidance of division,” he said.

“We will not need anyone if we reach an agreement with our people and elites.”

He called on universities to nurture individuals who are committed to the country’s progress. “University graduates must know that Iranians are no less than anyone,” he stated.

He praised Iranian scientists and academics for their service and urged the development of a domestic economy.

“We must build Iran in a way that money and capital are produced and developed in it,” he noted.

Iran ready to launch another Operation True Promise

On the military front, Iran’s Army Commander, Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, issued a stern warning in response to threats from the Israeli regime.

Speaking on the sidelines of a ceremony, he asserted that Iran is ready to respond decisively to any aggression.

“The Zionist regime is too weak to harm the grandeur of Iran. Meanwhile, the power of the Islamic Republic can pose serious challenges to Israel and its backers,” Mousavi underscored.

He indicated that the Israeli regime’s leadership is prone to miscalculation, saying, “Even their own officials understand that they cannot endure such challenges. But since the current rulers are foolish child-killers, any misstep is possible.”

“If they are in a hurry to receive another ‘True Promise’, we are fully prepared to deliver the appropriate blow,” he affirmed.

Operation True Promise

Mousavi’s comments reference Operation True Promise I and II, conducted last year in retaliation for Israeli aggression. The operations involved hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones targeting sensitive Israeli military and intelligence facilities with precision.

Iranian officials have stated that only a fraction of the Islamic Republic’s firepower was used in those operations, underscoring the country’s significant military capability.
