Zarif Highlights Iran's Immunity to Threats

The Iranian nation's support for the Islamic Republic has remarkably immunized the country against threats and foreign pressure, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said. "As an Iranian citizen, I am proud that the Islamic Republic has gained remarkable immunity to threats, sanctions and foreign pressure with the presence of our country's people," Zarif said at a conference on geopolitical crises in the Muslim world in Tehran on Monday, Tasnim News Agency reported.  The top Iranian diplomat highlighted the significance of "unity" as a geopolitical strategy vis-à-vis division, stressing that moderation should be employed to fight off extremism and discord. Zarif also praised the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement as a factor contributing to regional security. The ongoing conference in Tehran is being attended by experts and Muslim clerics from Iran and other countries, including Lebanon, Iraq and France.
