 “Not Afraid of the U.S. or Israel — But of Internal Division,” says Iran’s President Pezeshkian

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian declared,

“I am not afraid of the U.S. or Israel, but I fear internal division and discord. If we remain united and supportive, we will overcome all challenges.”

The remark reflects Pezeshkian’s attempt to balance two priorities: national unity and strategic realism.

Analysts say the president’s statement is less about defiance toward foreign powers and more about warning the country’s political factions not to deepen domestic rifts at a time of economic strain and social fatigue.

Unlike previous administrations that emphasized confrontation abroad, Pezeshkian’s tone suggests a shift — redefining “national security” as a function of internal trust and cohesion, not merely defense against external threats.

This framing may prove crucial for a leader seeking to maintain stability amid economic hardship, regional tension, and widening ideological divides within Iran’s own power structure.
