In a controversial statement, Pezeshkian, a member of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, strongly criticized the pressures from the US and Israel on Iran during the BRICS summit in New Delhi. He clearly indicated that these pressures have reached a critical and dangerous stage in recent months.
Iran's Critical Situation
Pezeshkian stated that economic and military sanctions against Tehran have significantly increased, expressing that this situation could lead to dire consequences. He emphasized that these pressures not only affect Iran's economy but also pose a serious threat to the national security of the country.
Furthermore, he referred to military threats from Israel, saying: "We cannot ignore these threats. This situation is dangerous for both us and the region." Pezeshkian also added that other countries and the international community must respond to these pressures and human rights violations in Iran.
BRICS Summit and Global Challenges
The BRICS summit, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, provides an opportunity for Iran to amplify its voice on the international stage. Pezeshkian hopes that this summit can help change the approach of Western countries towards Iran.
He also mentioned economic and political cooperation between BRICS members and Iran, stating: "We must strengthen our relations with non-Western countries to stand against the pressures from the US and Israel."
