Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Sunday that his government is determined to resolve the country’s economic problems as protests continue in several parts of Iran, emphasizing dialogue with the public while blaming foreign actors for unrest.
In a televised statement, Pezeshkian said the government is committed to solving Iran’s economic challenges and is prepared to listen to public grievances.
He stressed that addressing economic hardship remains a priority despite growing tensions on the streets.
“The government is determined to solve economic problems and is ready to listen to the people,” he said.
Pezeshkian accused Iran’s “enemies” of attempting to create chaos and instability in the country, linking the disturbances to external actors.
He said the unrest follows Iran’s 12-day war with Israel last June and directly accused the United States and Israel of being behind the protests.
According to the president, the disturbances are part of broader efforts to undermine stability inside Iran.
Calling on citizens to avoid confrontation, Pezeshkian urged the public to distance themselves from what he described as “rioters and terrorists.”
He warned against acts of vandalism and sabotage, appealing for calm as the government works to address economic concerns.
The remarks come as demonstrations continue across several regions, with authorities emphasizing the need for stability while promising to engage with public demands.
