The Americans themselves have declared that the policy of maximum pressure has failed, which means that the Islamic Revolution is on the path to victory and progress. The United States is on track to decline and weakness, Raisi underscored.

"We need to make the country attractive enough to reverse migration and make those who have migrated regret it and return," Raisi said.
