Iran Slams Israel as Barrier to Peace, Security
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian denounced the Israeli regime as a primary obstacle to regional peace, saying the regime’s existence is built on crimes.

Pezeshkian also underscored the deep cultural and religious ties between Iran and Iraq, emphasizing the importance of unity among Muslims. He stated that there is no reason for conflict among Muslims, highlighting that enemies consistently seek to deepen divisions and create problems within Islamic nations, affecting not only state relations but also communities.
The Iranian president expressed gratitude for Iraq's commitment to its obligations and reiterated the shared religious, cultural, and ethnic bonds between the two nations.
He noted that Iran has worked to harness the capacities of all its ethnic groups to govern effectively, advocating for true unity and cohesion in the Islamic world through adherence to the teachings of the Quran and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

For his part, the Iraqi president emphasized the high level of relations between the two neighbors, expressing readiness to enhance political, economic, and cultural cooperation.
