In an interview with India Today, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian assessed Iran's standing six months into confrontation with the United States. He stated that military actions and aggression from Washington have unified the Iranian population and the broader region, remarking, 'what the US did, it made us more united.' Pezeshkian stated that the US envisioned conquering Iran within twenty-four hours to establish a puppet government, similar to its actions in other nations, but failed to break societal resistance. He explained that after military and infrastructure attacks were thwarted, the US resorted to economic blockades affecting food and medical supplies, calling these actions inhumane. He rejected Western allegations regarding Iran seeking weapons of mass destruction, questioning Western human rights claims amid ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon while civilian trade and essential supplies remain under sanction.

00:00Then your honest assessment on where Iran stands six months into the confrontation.
00:05Are you weaker or stronger militarily, economically, strategically?
00:10You know, it applies to all countries, especially the developing countries.
00:23They have their own problems.
00:26And we had some problems. We still have them.
00:30But what the U.S. did, it made us more united, even the people of the region.
00:41And now they are more hateful toward America because we were oppressed.
00:49They attacked our country unprovoked, just because they have power.
00:57They envisioned that just like Venezuela, they would be able to, you know, conquer our country within 24 hours.
01:06And they would be able to establish their own puppet government, Iran.
01:12They thought it would be like what they did in Syria.
01:16They thought that within a few days after martyring our leader and military commanders, managers, directors, ministers,
01:24then the society would remain quiet and they would be able to reach their own objectives.
01:30Not only this did not happen, but only the people came to the streets with full power.
01:37And now it is more than several months that the people take to the streets and our military forces are
01:44sacrificing themselves to stand against the enemies with all the technologies.
01:50They have resisted against the enemies and despite all the efforts of the enemies in order to topple down the
01:58government.
01:58The government with the help of the people and with the support of the military and armed forces has been
02:05able to resolve its own problems.
02:07And they did not imagine it.
02:09And based on what they did, we are getting united on a daily basis.
02:15Even those people who were somehow discontented in our country.
02:20Yes, we did have some internal disputes.
02:24But even they insisted on the territorial integrity of our country.
02:30And they, I mean, regarding the attack and aggression of the enemies, they actually, they did not allow that.
02:42And even those Iranians living out abroad returned back to our country.
02:48So you make a very important point, sir, because, you know, the West thought they'd be able to break Iran.
02:54Is Iran more united today?
02:59Yes, that's true.
03:01Despite all the problems that we have currently, you know, what America did, it actually tried to militarily topple down
03:14the government.
03:14It failed.
03:15Then it attacked the infrastructure.
03:17Again, it failed.
03:18Now, it is blocking the route for the importation of goods, even food and medicine.
03:28And they have blocked the naval routes.
03:31It wants to even block the ground routes.
03:35So they are, America is a claimant of human rights.
03:38Now they are treating our people, our patients.
03:42They want to starve our people to death or bring about some other problems for them.
03:48They want us to yield and surrender.
03:51This is not humane.
03:52This is the most savage thing they can do.
03:55They are blocking the routes of medicines and goods.
04:00We are doing business and trade, but they block our, you know, money.
04:05What is the logic behind that?
04:08The one side which is actually involved in a war, and now they claim to defend human rights.
04:17What kind of human rights?
04:18They are attacking those people who have nothing to do with the war.
04:22Now they are, you know, putting sanctions on the same people.
04:26Are they human, even?
04:29I mean, why are they fighting against us?
04:33What have we done?
04:35This is a catastrophe.
04:36They are telling the world that Iran is seeking nuclear weapon and weapons of mass destruction.
04:43Are we seeking nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction?
04:48Or they who are actually killing people in Lebanon and Gaza on a daily basis?
04:54But unfortunately, the world is looking at their beautiful appearance and think that they are telling the truth.
05:01oh my goodness will have to come on a mastering system and tell us,
05:01you know, be ηEOPT.
05:01Yes.
