Iran's President stressed that national unity is key to overcoming foreign interference, as he delivered a speech at the commemoration of Imam Khomeini’s passing anniversary.

Why it matters:

The late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Imam Khomeini, always put his emphasis on the unity of the Islamic Ummah to overcome the challenges, including the animosities of the world's arrogant powers.  

 

What he's saying:

Masoud Pezeshkian warned against internal division and called for resistance against global efforts to weaken Iran’s sovereignty.

Pezeshkian stressed that maintaining Islamic governance requires cutting off colonial influence and foreign intervention.

He criticized Western propaganda, accusing the U.S., Israel, and allied forces of attempting to sow discord within Iran.

Iran's President rejected accusations that Iran is seeking weapons of mass destruction, instead pointing to Western arms sales that fuel conflicts in Muslim countries.

 

The big picture:

Pezeshkian framed unity as Iran’s strongest weapon against foreign adversaries. His remarks align with Tehran’s long-standing position of resisting external pressures while maintaining regional influence.
