He went on to note that the Iranian nation can tackle all the problems in the country through maintaining its unity. "The enemies want to make us and our neighbors enemies of each other through highlighting on racial and ethnic differences. We will not stand against our brothers and sisters in Islamic countries. We are not seeking nuclear weapons."
