In a recent statement, Iranian leaders reaffirmed the country's determination to remain resolute against all hostile forces, emphasizing that the strength of the Middle Eastern nation stems not only from military or economic capabilities but also from its ancient civilization and deep cultural identity.
Speaking at a cabinet meeting, Iran's president said that the country's millennia-long history provides a solid foundation for the Iranian people to overcome external challenges and pressures. He stressed that hostile forces have repeatedly sought to create instability but have never succeeded in weakening the Iranian nation's will.
The remarks come as Iran faces mounting Western pressure over its nuclear program and regional activities. Analysts suggest that highlighting civilizational and historical factors is a way to bolster national morale and foster domestic consensus, while conveying that Tehran will not yield to sanctions or military threats.
Other senior officials also voiced support, asserting that Iran is always ready to defend its sovereignty and national interests, and called on citizens to unite and have confidence in the nation's ability to tackle all trials.
