US-Iran Relations Marred by Historical Events, Sanctions, Says Pezeshkian

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian attributes his country’s current skepticism of the US to a combination of factors, including foreign meddling and severe economic penalties.
Pezeshkian pointed out that, initially, relations between the Iranian and American people were not marked by animosity, but rather by cordial interactions.
However, he noted that the 1953 coup d’etat marked a pivotal moment in the deterioration of US-Iran relations, describing it as a covert American operation aimed at thwarting Iran’s efforts to nationalize its own resources.
Pezeshkian further stated that US support for the rule of former leader Reza Shah Pehlavi, backing of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, and imposition of crippling sanctions exacerbated the distrust.
He emphasized that the ongoing military aggression, including recent bombings, has a profound impact on people’s daily lives, attitudes, and perspectives.
