During a Cabinet meeting on Sunday, President Pezeshkian criticized the inconsistent behavior of the United States and European countries regarding the escalating crises in the region. He stated, "Today, all countries in the region have come to the conclusion that the Islamic Republic of Iran is committed to establishing peace and stability, while the criminal Zionist regime aims to intensify the crises and promote war in the area."
Commemorating the National Day of Fighting Global Arrogance (Aban 13), the president emphasized that Iran has never initiated a war nor advised any country to go to war. It has always been the United States that has ignited war in various parts of the world, including in the West Asia region, and today, by supporting the criminal Zionist regime, it (the United States) has fueled the flame of war in West Asia region, the Iranian president added.
The president pointed to the brutalities and atrocities of the criminal Zionist regime to incite war and bloodshed in the region and noted that the Zionist regime sought to ignite war by assassinating ex-Hamas Chief Martyr Ismail Haniyeh on the first day after he assumed presidential office and continued its atrocities and heinous crimes and also spread its aggression and criminality to Lebanon.
Pezeshkian further pointed out that the Islamic Republic of Iran will by no means leave the recent aggression by the criminal Zionist regime on its national sovereignty and territorial integrity unanswered, declaring that, "They know very well that if they make any mistake against the Islamic Republic of Iran, they will receive a crushing response. However, if they reconsider their behavior, accept the ceasefire and stop killing and massacre of the oppressed and innocent people of the region, it may affect the type and severity our response."
