Pezeshkian says he favors diplomacy but vows not to cave in to coercion
“Diplomacy and negotiation do not amount to humiliation. We are not going to fight with anyone, unless they want to harm the honor and pride of our country. We will not cave in to coercion, which is against our dignity.”
The presidential candidate further noted that improving people's standard of living is among his main priorities, while emphasizing that foreign policy has a significant impact on people's lives.
Pezeshkian went on to say that internal unity could contribute to a successful foreign policy.
"Without a well-established and consensual foreign policy, we cannot advance and achieve the country's economic interests," he said.
The contender also emphasized that internal differences should be set aside to achieve progress. “Experts should help find solutions to foreign policy issues.”
“If someone was able to solve these issues, don’t blame him. Blaming others won’t solve any problems,” he said.
