According to the IRNA news agency, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian declared that Iran cannot be blockaded, citing the country's shared borders with 15 nations. The remarks came as regional tensions continued to rise and pressure measures targeting Tehran remained the focus of attention.
Pezeshkian made clear that Iran's geographic position is what makes blockade efforts unfeasible. With an extensive border touching 15 countries, Iran maintains numerous land trade and transport gateways, in addition to maritime routes in the south.
In his remarks, the Iranian leader affirmed that the country is ready for dialogue but will not accept being dictated to. He stressed that pressure measures cannot achieve their objectives if they fail to take into account Iran's geographic reality and regional relationships.
President Pezeshkian's statement came as the Middle East region witnesses a series of complex developments. Relevant parties continue to closely monitor further moves, while Iran keeps asserting its stance on sovereignty and national interests.
