Claims of Iran’s unconditional surrender are nothing but fantasies, President Masoud Pezeshkian said in an address to the nation.


“Claims that we would want to surrender unconditionally are merely fantasies—ones they should take with them to the grave,” the Tashim news agency quoted him as saying.


He also urged Iranians to defend the country and to set aside religious affiliation or social status in order to successfully overcome the conflict.
