Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announced his country's firm stance on recent military and political movements in the region, stressing that Tehran will not stand idly by in the face of any new escalation. These statements came during a phone call he made with Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, during which the two sides reviewed the latest developments in the ongoing negotiations in Islamabad and the efforts made to consolidate the ceasefire.
Pezeshkian accused the United States of America of pursuing policies that undermine diplomatic efforts, describing the continued naval blockade and ongoing threats as a clear violation of previously reached understandings. The Iranian President indicated that these actions reveal Washington's intentions to circumvent peaceful solutions and fuel tension in vital waterways.
In a message described as stern, Pezeshkian informed his Pakistani counterpart that Iranian forces are on high alert for comprehensive defense against any adventure that American or Zionist powers might undertake. He warned that any ill-considered step would have catastrophic repercussions for regional security, stressing that protecting Iranian sovereignty remains a top priority that is non-negotiable.
The conversation between the two leaders also touched upon the importance of enhancing cooperation between neighboring countries to ensure the stability of the region away from external interventions, which he described as 'destructive'. Pezeshkian expressed his hope that the efforts of regional countries would unite to block the path of international powers seeking to impose their own agendas at the expense of the interests of the region's peoples and its political stability.
The Iranian President concluded his speech by emphasizing Tehran's strategy based on good neighborliness and developing bilateral relations with Pakistan and the rest of the surrounding countries. He stressed that lasting peace can only be achieved by ending the foreign military presence and stopping threats targeting the security of navigation and international trade in the region.
Iran is determined to defend comprehensively against any new American or Zionist adventure targeting the security of the region.
