Trump Threat: 14 million Iranians ready to defend country with their lives, says president Pezeshkian
The President of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, said on Tuesday that he and 14 million fellow Iranians are ready to sacrifice their lives to defend the nation.
Speaking on his verified X account (formerly Twitter), Mr Pezeshkian wrote in Arabic, with an English translation: “More than 14 million proud Iranians have so far registered to sacrifice their lives to defend Iran. I too have been, am, and will remain devoted to giving my life for Iran.”
His statement comes amid rising tensions in the region, with U.S. President Donald Trump setting a Tuesday deadline for potential strikes on Iranian power stations and bridges if Tehran does not ease its control over the Strait of Hormuz.
