Iranian Vice President Eshaq Jahangiri said July 25 that his country will soon witness what he called a "great show of internal unity," with national figures coming together to fight off economic pressures.
The moderate politician made the comments in Tehran in an address to the heads of Iranian missions abroad. He did not elaborate on the details of how that could take place but noted, "The best strategy to tackle the impasse that has gripped the country these days is solidarity and national unity." The same call for unity was reflected in a speech by Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif last month, when he made it clear to domestic hard-liners that the target of US pressure is not their moderate rivals but rather Iran as a whole.
