Iranian president: US memorandum 'best path to solution,' no concessions involved

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian described the memorandum of understanding with the United States as a source of pride, stressing that it contains no clauses indicating any concessions. He emphasized the need to move beyond the current state of 'neither war nor peace' by adopting a logical approach that ensures the stability of the government.

According to the Iranian news agency IRNA, Pezeshkian stated during a ceremony marking 'Doctor's Day' in Tehran that the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution is the authority in setting general policies, and affirmed his commitment to following the same path.

The Iranian president noted that all obligations fall on the other party, explaining that the memorandum was drafted based on wisdom and national interest. He reiterated that general policies will remain subject to the guidance of the Supreme Leader, and that the government will adhere to the course he determines.

Pezeshkian underlined the necessity of ending the 'neither war nor peace' situation, which burdens the economy and hinders capital inflow. He explained that stability is essential for protecting economic interests, as investments avoid unstable regions. Therefore, he said, the solution to current problems lies in following a path of logic and dignity, while stressing that Iran will not yield to external pressures.

In his speech, the Iranian president also addressed crimes committed by the United States and Israel, asserting that attempts to subdue the country through aggression will not succeed against the resilience and long history of the Iranian people.

The president praised national unity, noting that despite differing opinions and orientations, defending the homeland remains a unifying goal. He commended citizens for their solidarity during critical moments, which he said thwarted the plans of adversaries.
