President Rayeesi was speaking at a ceremony in which ambassadors of Muslim countries met with Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei on Saturday.
Iran's president described the move by the Western sides as a miscalculation, adding that Tehran will achieve the national interests of the Iranian people through graceful and constructive presence in international bodies.
He stressed that the country will overcome what he described as “economic seditions”, referring to the economic problems caused by Western sanctions on Iran.
Rayeesi stressed that the huge turnout of people for the rallies marking the 44th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution doubles the responsibility of officials in this regard.

Tehran and certain Western nations have been engaged in a diplomatic row over their meddlesome stance on recent unrest Iran.
Protests erupted in several cities across Iran over the death of Mahsa Amini who fainted at a police station in mid-September and days later was pronounced dead at a hospital. The demonstrations soon turned violent.
An official report by Iran’s Legal Medicine Organization announced that Amini’s controversial death was caused by an illness rather than alleged blows to the head or other vital body organs.
Iranian officials blame Western countries for orchestrating the riots to destabilize the country.
The unrest has claimed the lives of dozens of people and security forces, while also allowing acts of terror and sabotage across the country. Iran's Interior Ministry has confirmed the enemy waged a hybrid war against the country to weaken national solidarity and hinder the country's progress, stressing that some 200 people lost their lives in the riots sparked by separatist and terrorist groups.
The US, the UK and the European Union (EU) have imposed a slew of sanctions against Iranian individuals and legal entities since the September death in police custody of an Iranian woman. Iran has returned the adversarial measures and meddlesome statements with sanctions against European, American and British officials and institutions.
