Masoud Pezeshkian said in a message on the social platform X that southern Iran has historically been “a symbol of resistance against colonialism and safeguarding independence,” and said that the people of this region are also now getting through the “hard days caused by the enemy’s aggression” with “patience, steadfastness, and perseverance.” He also wrote that he stands with these people and appreciates them. In some reposts, the sentence “All of Iran is my home” was also included as part of his message. This news was published mainly as a repost of a short message, and most media outlets relied on a single quote from the president.

Most media outlets focused on a single message from Masoud Pezeshkian, and the main difference lies in how fully the text was quoted: some outlets only included the sentence about “resistance against colonialism,” while others also نقل the parts about “hard days caused by the enemy’s aggression,” appreciation for the people, and the sentence “All of Iran is my home.” There is no significant content disagreement in the accounts; the difference is more in shortening, emphasizing emotional or nationalist sections, and the extent to which the quotation is completed.
