Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Friday that he does not support the continuation of war with the US, calling for the country’s resilience to be strengthened for the next phase.
His remarks came during a meeting with heads of Iranian universities, according to the local Mehr News Agency.
Addressing the conflict with Washington, Pezeshkian said, “I am not in favor of continuing the war, but we must strengthen the country’s resilience in the face of upcoming developments.”
Strengthening the country’s resilience requires following a path that does not force Iran to negotiate with the “enemy” from a position of weakness, he said, calling on universities to support the government in this regard.
Economic measures must take into account existing social conditions, the Iranian president said, warning that uncalculated steps would be harmful rather than remedial.
