Iran Press/Iran News: Speaking on Thursday evening at the 12th National Conference for Praising War Veterans, President Hassan Rouhani said, "We are facing economic war and attacking people's welfare and living."
"This attack is in one aspect more complicated than the previous one, and we need to resist and stand tall to make enemies understand that despair has no place in our hearts and we will not abandon the goal of our country's independence and dignity," Rouhani added according to Iran Press.
Hostility to Iran is a central to the policy of US administration as Washington has increased what it describes as its maximum pressure campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Today, all plots that the enemies have hatched against the Iranian nation is to make us surrender and abandon our independence, said the President, adding, "Our path must be identified with resistance and devotion. The enemies are putting pressures on us to make us abandon our dignity and independence, but the nation will prove it to them once again that their plots will not be successful."
He said, "The sound of surrender will not rise from the Iran and Iranians and we will defeat the enemies through devotion, self-sacrifice and unity."
"What the enemies had was material power and the entire world helped them, but we were alone, moving with our faith and unity, defending the revolution and independence of the country," said Rouhani.
He reiterated, "Today is the day of resistance and I tell the people of Iran explicitly that we can defeat the United States, the Zionist Regime, and the regional reactionaries through unity, resistance and steadfastness." 101
