Iran’s president has called for unity and apologised for the \u201cshortcomings\u201d that exist after the recent crackdown on nationwide protests.
\nMasoud Pezeshkian also said his nation was \u201cnot seeking nuclear weapons\u201d.
\nHis remarks come as Iran marks the 47th anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, which toppled the monarchy and brought Ayatollah Khomeini to power.
\nMillions of Iranians have gathered in the streets, celebrating, carrying flags and chanting revolutionary slogans.
\nBut this year\u2019s commemoration comes at one of the most challenging moments in the Islamic Republic’s recent history, as tension with the US has been escalating for weeks. <\/p>\n
