Tehran, Iran | October 28, 2026 | The Global Journal
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has pledged to implement the directives of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Mojtaba Khamenei to bring an end to the country’s current “neither war nor peace” situation. He said the government would take the necessary steps and use its full capabilities to achieve the stated objectives.
Speaking at a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Pezeshkian described the Supreme Leader’s recent directive to Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, as highly significant. The directive emphasizes advancing efforts to fulfil the conditions set by Iranian officials to overcome the current stalemate.
According to the president, the directive provides important guidance for the country’s future plans and next steps. He stressed that all government departments must work in coordination and make full use of their capabilities to achieve the stated goals.
Government Agencies Urged to Prepare for Changing Conditions
Pezeshkian called on government institutions to remain prepared to address the country’s changing circumstances. He instructed ministers, heads of executive bodies and their deputies to maintain the highest level of readiness.
He also emphasized improving administrative management, increasing the efficiency of government operations and reducing costs. His remarks highlighted the importance of keeping state functions operational and ensuring the timely implementation of necessary decisions amid the current situation.
Iran Vows to Stand Firm Against External Pressure and Threats
Pezeshkian said Iran would maintain its strength and national unity in the face of threats, sanctions and external pressure. He warned that adversaries should not assume that increasing pressure and threats would weaken the Iranian people’s resolve or force the country to surrender.
The president’s remarks underscored the government’s emphasis on national solidarity, administrative preparedness and a firm stance against external pressure. However, the practical impact of these declarations will depend on subsequent actions and developments within Iran and internationally.
Supreme National Security Council’s Role Emphasized
Earlier, Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei met with Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council. During the meeting, Khamenei described the council and its secretariat as a crucial hub for national policymaking.
The discussions emphasized strengthening national unity, building mutual trust between the public and government officials, and using constitutional capacities to help the president and executive bodies address challenges. Protecting national and regional security was also highlighted.
The Supreme Leader further stressed the need for Iranian officials to pursue the fulfilment of the country’s stated conditions to end the current “neither war nor peace” situation.
What Steps Will Tehran Take to Break the Stalemate?
Pezeshkian’s pledge comes as Iran focuses on managing its current security environment while emphasizing the fulfilment of its own conditions for ending the conflict. Coordination between the government and the Supreme National Security Council could play an important role in implementing the Supreme Leader’s directives.
However, details of Iran’s stated conditions, the specific measures planned to fulfil them and the prospects for an agreement between the parties have not been disclosed in the report.
Conclusion
Pezeshkian’s commitment to implementing Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei’s directives highlights Iran’s emphasis on administrative preparedness, national unity and resistance to external pressure. Nevertheless, ending the “neither war nor peace” stalemate will ultimately depend on Iran’s stated conditions, the positions of the parties involved and subsequent diplomatic and security-related developments.
