Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Sunday that no major decision in the Islamic Republic is taken without the Supreme Leader’s permission, underlining the need for unified positions across state institutions during diplomatic efforts to resolve regional hostilities.
Speaking during a visit to the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), Pezeshkian said he has taken care to avoid statements or policies that conflict with the Supreme Leader’s views or create internal divisions that adversaries could exploit. His remarks were released by his office and reported by state media.
Pezeshkian emphasized that key security and foreign-policy decisions are made within the framework of the Supreme National Security Council and require the Supreme Leader’s approval. He called for all government platforms and institutions to back agreed diplomatic moves so that Iran speaks with a single, coherent voice internationally.
Stressing national cohesion, the president said coordinated action under the Supreme Leader’s guidance is essential to withstand external pressure and prevent enemies from achieving their aims.
On nuclear policy, Pezeshkian said Iran is prepared to reassure the international community that its nuclear program is peaceful. He reiterated Tehran’s position that it has the right under the Nuclear Non‑Proliferation Treaty (NPT) to pursue nuclear technology for civilian purposes such as energy, medicine, and research, and repeated official denials that Iran is seeking nuclear weapons.
At the same time, he warned that Iranian negotiators will not yield on matters of national dignity and honour in talks with international actors, including the United States, aimed at reaching a comprehensive settlement to the region’s crises.
Pezeshkian also accused Israel of being a primary source of instability in West Asia, saying the Israeli government exploits opportunities to perpetuate conflict rather than promoting peace.
The president’s comments, carried by Press TV and his office, come amid ongoing diplomatic engagements with Washington and other parties aimed at resolving the hostilities in the region. This report is based on a syndicated feed from ANI and has been republished by local outlets.
