Iran not seeks conflict with neighbors but responds to attack

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says that Iran seeks friendly relations with neighboring countries but will respond decisively to any aggression against its territory.

Iran (IMNA) _ President Pezeshkian addressed the Iranian public and expressed appreciation for the people’s strong presence and solidarity, saying it has caused disappointment for the country’s enemies.

He stated that adversaries had misinterpreted some of his remarks and were attempting to create conflict between Iran and neighboring countries in order to sow division in the region.

The president noted that it has repeatedly been emphasized—according to the guidance of the late leader of the Islamic Revolution—that Iran considers neighboring countries as brothers and seeks positive relations with them.

Pezeshkian added that if an attack were launched against Iran from any country’s territory, Iran would be compelled to respond.

He stressed that responding to such aggression would not mean Iran seeks conflict with that country or wishes harm to its people, but that retaliation would be unavoidable.
