National Unity Needed to Tackle Foreign Threats

It is necessary to maintain national unity in the face of foreign threats, as a lack of consensus and mixed messages would only worsen the already complicated situation facing Iran, a political observer says. 
In an article published by IRNA, Kourosh Ahmadi added that unresolved and heightened tensions between Tehran and the West over the 2015 nuclear deal are being exploited to raise new allegations against Tehran. 
He was referring to the fact that French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian recently told a parliamentary hearing that Iranian authorities' response to domestic protests over a fuel price hike "seems to prove" the United States right in its logic of "maximum pressure".
