No Talks amid Israeli Assault: Pezeshkian
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian ruled out the possibility of negotiations as long as the Zionist regime’s attacks against Iran continue.
In a telephone conversation with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron on Saturday, Pezeshkian said it is wrong to assume that Iran may go to the negotiating table while the Israeli regime keeps attacking the country.
Iran has never sought conflicts, yet it will not hesitate to defend itself against threats, he stated.
Pezeshkian asserted that the belief that the Islamic Republic would yield to illogical demands and double standards under pressure, or negotiate while the Zionist regime continues its attacks, is a miscalculation.
While Iran does not seek war or bloodshed, it will respond decisively to any threat, he emphasized, stressing that the Islamic Republic has always preferred to resolve issues through diplomatic means.
The Israeli regime attacked a number of residential neighborhoods of Tehran as well as military and nuclear sites in other parts of Iran in the early hours of June 13.
Several top military commanders, at least six Iranian nuclear scientists, and dozens of civilians have been martyred in the strikes.
The Iranian Armed Forces have taken retaliatory action against the Zionist regime, hitting several cities in the occupied territories with destructive ballistic missiles.
