Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said any victory secured on the battleground and consolidated through diplomacy would be a source of pride for the entire Iranian nation and Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, underscoring the importance of national unity and coordination among the country's institutions in advancing Iran's interests.
Speaking at a cabinet meeting on Sunday, President Pezeshkian praised Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Judiciary Chief Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei for their cooperation, saying unity among the heads of the three branches of government had played a key role in the country's success in the fight against aggressors.
If this victory is consolidated through diplomacy, the honor will belong to the entire Iranian nation and the Supreme Leader, he said, adding that dignity and national strength are achieved through cooperation and solidarity.
The president described national unity and cohesion as Iran's greatest achievement under the current circumstances, emphasizing the need to avoid divisive rhetoric and preserve solidarity across all sectors of the state.
President Pezeshkian also expressed appreciation for the guidance of Supreme Leader, noting that all developments and negotiations had been presented to the Leader and that members of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) had shared their views on the matter.
He said Iran is witnessing special coordination among political, executive, military, security and judicial institutions, describing such unity as a major achievement and a victory in itself.
Warning that Iran's adversaries, particularly the Israeli regime, are seeking to influence ongoing diplomatic efforts, President Pezeshkian said the vigilance and solidarity of the Iranian people would render such attempts ineffective.
Highlighting Tehran's expanding engagement with neighboring countries, the president said regional states are increasingly prepared for dialogue and cooperation, adding that Iran has consistently sought to strengthen peace and stability in the region.
He also emphasized that Iran has no hesitation in defending its legitimate rights, while noting that peace and ceasefires are the ultimate outcome of conflicts.
When Iranians’ rights can be secured through dialogue and diplomacy, there is no reason to remain in a state of war, he said.
He called for greater domestic unity and urged all sides to avoid remarks that could undermine national cohesion, saying unity remains the source of Iran's strength and resilience.
