Iran's Pezeshkian Urges Ending US Conflict While Tehran Holds StrengthPreviousNext

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has called for an end to the ongoing conflict with the United States, stating that Tehran should seek peace while it remains in a position of "power and dignity." He claimed the international community recognizes Iran's strength and accused the US of attacking civilian infrastructure. Pezeshkian defended a June agreement with the US as non-capitulative and warned Iran would respond firmly to any renewed attacks. Meanwhile, the US plans to intensify sanctions, while China opposes such measures.
