Iranian President Says US Failed to Topple Iran, Cites National Unity Amid Sanctions
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated in interviews that the US underestimated Iran's resilience, expecting to quickly topple its government and install a puppet regime similar to Venezuela or Syria. He said military attacks and economic sanctions have instead unified Iranians, including previously dissatisfied groups. Pezeshkian rejected Western claims about Iran's weapons ambitions and criticized sanctions affecting essential supplies, emphasizing Iran's continued resistance despite advanced enemy technology and external pressures.
