در ایران ما تندرو و میانهرو وجود ندارد؛
همه ما “ایرانی” و “انقلابی” هستیم و با اتحاد آهنین ملت و دولت، با تبعیت کامل از رهبر معظم انقلاب متجاوز جنایتکار را پشیمان خواهیم کرد.
یک خدا، یک ملت، یک رهبر و یک راه؛ آنهم راه پیروزی ایران عزیزتر از جان.#ایران_ما— Masoud Pezeshkian (@drpezeshkian) April 23, 2026
