“A country like Iran, with 16 neighbors, cannot be easily sanctioned,” Pezeshkian said in a meeting with governors across the country on Monday.
“If we manage our interactions with our neighbors well, we can effectively overcome the pressures,” he added.
He emphasized that Iran has no intention to bully anyone, but will never yield to force and bow down in the face of bullying.
Pezeshkian stated that Iran does not cast a covetous eye on any country’s territory but “will blind any eye that covets Iran” by increasing national empathy and synergy.
