In a recent meeting with intellectuals and political activists in Golestan Province, Iranian President Massoud Bezhakian criticized former U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for their roles in inciting recent protests in Iran. Bezhakian asserted that these leaders have effectively closed off any opportunities for the Iranian government to move forward and complete important deals, attributing the current unrest to the actions of foreign adversaries who have heightened tensions within the country.

He emphasized that the responsibility for the current discontent among Iranian youth does not lie with them but rather with the officials who have failed to provide adequate education and job opportunities. Bezhakian pointed to the adversaries, particularly the Zionist regime, as having exploited the tumultuous situation to exacerbate problems within Iran, effectively fueling dissent against the government during a time of vulnerability.

In a call for national unity and healing, Bezhakian urged the Iranian people to work together to mend the "painful wounds" inflicted by recent violent disturbances. He suggested that focusing on reconciliation is crucial for the nation, instead of allowing ongoing disputes to leave the country vulnerable to foreign intervention. He highlighted the importance of moving forward positively, suggesting that healing and reconciling should be prioritized over exacerbating divisions that could be detrimental to Iran's sovereignty and integrity.
