“The enemies claim to defend human rights and call Iran a ‘terrorist state,’ but in reality, Iran is the true victim of terrorism,” the chief executive stated in a speech in the capital Tehran on Sunday.
It is the accusers, who are backing the real perpetrators of violence, he added.
Pezeshkian’s remarks highlighted the double standards of the United States and its Western allies and their support for terrorist entities such as the anti-Iran Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) that has the blood of thousands of Iranian civilians and officials on its hands, and the Israeli regime, which has killed tens of thousands of people across the region.
Addressing the ongoing atrocities committed by the regime against the defenseless people of the Gaza Strip, Pezeshkian condemned the so-called defenders of human rights for their silence and complicity in the crimes.
“In front of the eyes of the entire world, they bury women, children, and the elderly under rubble and then preach about human rights,” he said, adding that the hypocrisy of those who lecture others on human rights while supporting such crimes was evident to all.
Pezeshkian, who was addressing the closing ceremony of the Tabriz Cultural Week in Tehran, which pays tributes to the northwestern Iranian city of Tabriz’s cultural heritage, reminded that from the very beginning of the country’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, the Islamic Republic’s enemies had continuously plotted against it.
He noted that the enemies’ conspiracies, alongside a terror campaign that was launched by the MKO against the country following the Revolution, led to the loss of many prominent individuals, including government officials, religious leaders, and scientists.
“The enemies carried out 18,000 street executions,” he explained.
The president also paid tribute to the historic and influential uprising of Tabriz’s residents on February 18, 1978, which played a pivotal role in the success of the Revolution’s success.
Pezeshkian, meanwhile, expressed his belief that despite facing numerous challenges, Iran would overcome all predicaments with integrity, strength, and esteem.
