#BREAKING
Raisi: I thank God for the Arbaeen march ritual, which was a grand event.
#BREAKING
Raisi: In my trips (to Samarkand and New York), important issues were raised. Iran's membership in SCO is a major event. Economically speaking, we are now attached to this great organization.
#BREAKING
Raisi: Iran's trade with SCO member-states will help us boost our trade and develop our economy. At the SCO summit, Iran's membership was announced.
#BREAKING
Raisi: In my bilateral meeting with the President of China, we discussed China's cooperation in major economic projects in Iran. China will hopefully participate in Iran's railway projects.
#BREAKING
Raisi: From the time I went to Moscow to the time I met the Russian President in Samarkand, Iran-Russia trade increased by 80%.
#BREAKING
Raisi: In my meeting with PM Modi, I asked him to speed up India's cooperation in Makran coast and Chabahar port.
#BREAKING
Raisi: Our trade level with Tajikistan has raised by 5-6 times since I visited Dushanbe last year. Regional countries now trust our "neighborhood policy." It is time to build up their trust.
#BREAKING
Raisi: I met 10 leaders in Uzbekistan on the sidelines of the SCO summit.
I couldn't attend the UNGA last year due to the pandemic, but I attended this year since the pandemic was not widespread.
#BREAKING
Raisi: In my speech, I tried to be the voice of Iran, and other oppressed countries. I stated our principled position in nuclear talks, human rights, terrorism.
#BREAKING
Raisi: I spoke briefly at the UNESCO summit, but I tried to keep it to the point. I noted that we want to exchange cooperation with other countries. It is also important to note that we also have domestic documents.
#BREAKING
Raisi: On the sidelines of the UNGA in New York, I attended several bilateral meetings and attended various meetings with media personalities.
#BREAKING
Raisi: During my meeting with Mr. Macron, the issue of nuclear talks was raised. We said that we want a "fair" deal. He also admitted that the Europeans didn't live up to their commitments.
#BREAKING
Raisi: He told me that he will discuss our positions with the Americans and Europeans. I reiterated that we need strong, verifiable guarantees. I also told him that you negotiate with us, but you issue a resolution against us in the IAEA BoG.
#BREAKING
Raisi: I also lamented France for carbon copying the U.S. positions.
#BREAKING
Raisi: Mr. Macron raised the issue of human rights in general, and I responded: We are the claimant, not the culprit. Since the Islamic Revolution bore fruit, the issue of human rights was of utmost importance for Tehran.
#BREAKING
Raisi: I told Mr. Macron examples of violation of human rights by the French government, and I lamented him for double standards.
#BREAKING
Raisi: Mr. Macron wanted to prove to me that the IAEA is a technical entity. I told him that the IAEA announced 15 times that Iran hasn't had any deviations from its peaceful nuclear program, but you haven't taken these into account.
#BREAKING
Raisi: I believe that the IAEA claims are political. JCPOA cannot be restored unless the Safeguards probe is closed once and for all, and we receive strong, verifiable guarantees.
#BREAKING
Raisi: During my meetings in New York, I saw great enthusiasm from the leaders of various countries to develop economic ties with Iran despite an immense number of sanctions.
#BREAKING
Raisi: By raising the photo of martyr Qassem Soleimani at the UNGA, I wanted to say that the U.S. created ISIS, and Soleimani tried to stabilize the region, but you martyred him. I wanted to raise the issue of state terrorism.

#BREAKING
Raisi: Our message in UNGA was to announce Iran's readiness for bilateral cooperation.
#BREAKING

#BREAKING
Raisi: We officially defeated the U.S. "maximum pressure" campaign, and now they admit that they failed miserably.
#BREAKING
Raisi: No one cannot deny the Islamic Republic's progress. The reason they are conspiring against us is that we did not stop the train of progress, even though we are facing heavy sanctions.
#BREAKING
Raisi: Iran's progress in various economic fields is ongoing, and it won't be tied to just one contract (JCPOA). They are conspiring against us to halt our progress.
#BREAKING
Raisi: I first heard of the tragic incident for #MahsaAmini while I was in Samarkand. I advised the interior minister to follow the issue with great care. When I returned from Samarkand, I was told she had passed. I called her family and expressed my condolences.
#BREAKING
Raisi: We all are saddened by this tragic incident, and I assured her family that I will personally follow this issue with great care until the perpetrators are brought to justice.
#BREAKING
Raisi: We are doing our duty to follow the issue with complete transparency. We are awaiting the investigation to be completed. I have received some preliminary reports.
#BREAKING
Raisi: People must voice their opinions in various media outlets, and officials must pay attention in a positive way to these opinions.

#BREAKING

#BREAKING
Raisi: A country with indigenous children buried in mass graves is inviting some people to take on to the streets and keep rioting. In U.S., more than 1000 people are killed by the police annually, and now they are defendant of human rights?
#BREAKING
Raisi: Western media outlets are teaching rioters how to make explosives.
#BREAKING
Raisi: We consider sanctions and riots two sides of one coin. #MahsaAmini's tragic death is being investigated, so no one should abuse her death to cause riots.
#BREAKING
Raisi: A country that gave chemical weapons to Saddam is now claiming to be the defendant of human rights in Iran.
#BREAKING
Raisi: I reiterate that #MahsaAmini's tragic death will definitely be followed to the end. However, rioting will cause insecurity in the country. Everyone is on the same page in this regard.
#BREAKING
Raisi: Dialogue and criticism are encouraged.
#BREAKING
Raisi: Enemy embraces riots and insecurity in Iran. They want to disrupt the production lines in Iran.
#BREAKING
Raisi: Active presence of the people in social, economic and political fields will disappoint the foes.
#BREAKING
Raisi: Those who caused violence through instigating riots and those who provoked them must be brought to justice.
#BREAKING
Raisi: Discussions, dialogue, and criticism on how a law is implemented must be formed. Officials must learn to listen to objections to their opinions.
#BREAKING
