Iran's Stance on External Aggression
On Wednesday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian strongly condemned external pressures and military aggression against Iran. He emphasized that any attempt to use force against the Islamic Republic, amidst fragile ceasefire and ongoing diplomatic efforts to end hostilities in West Asia, is destined to fail. Pezeshkian asserted that Iran is committed to constructive dialogue but will not yield to pressure.
Prospects for Renewed Talks
Reports suggest a potential second round of negotiations between Washington and Tehran, following a stalemate in the first round held in Islamabad. He stated to ISNA that while they advocate for constructive discussions, they will not be coerced into submission. Any attempt to impose will on Iran or force it to capitulate is bound to fail, and the public will never accept such an attitude. ये खबर आप गज़ब वायरल में पढ़ रहे हैं। Iran does not seek war.
Concerns Over Recent Military Actions
These remarks come amid heightened tensions following U.S. blockades targeting Iranian ports, further straining already tense relations between Tehran and Washington. Pezeshkian also questioned the legitimacy and morality of recent actions taken by U.S. and Israeli forces against Iran, expressing concern over the impact of attacks on civilian infrastructure.
Questioning Legitimacy of Attacks
According to ISNA, he raised the question of what right and for what crime was our country attacked? He further stated that how can targeting civilians, elites, children, and destroying critical centers such as schools and hospitals be justified under international law and humanitarian principles? The Iranian president reiterated that while the country seeks peace and diplomatic relations, it will firmly oppose any external aggression or pressure that undermines its sovereignty.
