Masoud Pezeshkian addresses Iran

The Iranian government distinguishes between legitimate protests and unrest, and is ready to implement all necessary reforms, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said in a televised address to the nation.

"We are ready to listen to the people's voice and are determined to continue economic reforms," Pezeshkian said.

He urged the Iranian people to take to the streets in a televised address to voice their opposition to ongoing unrest.

"We call on the Iranian citizens to stand together and make their voices heard, ensuring that their legitimate demands are not overshadowed or distorted," Pezeshkian said.

The Iranian President expressed firm disapproval of those who set mosques ablaze, asserting that "Iranian society does not condone such acts of violence."

Pezeshkian asserted that the demonstrators are expressing their disagreement with the worsening economic situation, but they are not setting markets on fire or committing criminal acts.

"The unrest in Iran is orchestrated by America and Israel, who are giving orders to their agents to destabilize the situation," Pezeshkian said.

He also extended condolences to the families of civilians who lost their lives and cautioned young people against involvement in unrest.

"We are prepared to meet with all parties demonstrating within the country to seek solutions," Pezeshkian said.
