‘Take That Dream To Grave’: Masoud Pezeshkian Rejects US Demand For Iran’s Unconditional Surrender

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has strongly rejected the United States’ demand for Iran’s unconditional surrender, calling it “a dream they can take to their grave.” In a televised message, Pezeshkian urged national unity and called on Iranians to defend the country’s territorial integrity amid escalating tensions with the United States and Israel. He also said Iran has no intention of attacking neighbouring countries unless attacks are launched from their territory. The remarks come after strikes by the United States and Israel on Iran on February 28 triggered a new phase of conflict in the Middle East, with Tehran responding with retaliatory attacks across the region.
