Iran will not bow down to excessive demands, Pezeshkian says

Sep 20, 2025, 12:45 GMT+1Updated: 15:58 GMT+1

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said the country will not surrender or bow to excessive demands after the UN Security Council voted against permanently lifting sanctions on Tehran.

“Last night, they decided to (trigger) the snapback (mechanism). They may close off paths, but minds and ideas create new ones. They cannot stop us…We will never surrender or bow to excessive demands,” he said.

“They can hit Natanz and Fordow, but it is the people who built them and will build Natanz and things far more important than Natanz,” Pezeshkian added.
