Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has issued a public statement responding to U.S. President Donald Trump's commentary on Iran's internal politics. Pezeshkian rejected the Western political labels of 'radical' and 'moderate' used by Trump, stating that in Iran there are only 'Iranians' and 'revolutionaries.' He emphasized the 'iron unity' of the people and state, asserting that by following the Supreme Leader, Iran will make the 'criminal aggressor' regret its actions. This statement aligns with earlier remarks from other senior Iranian officials, including Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, forming a unified front against perceived U.S. attempts to sow division.
