Iranian President Masud Pezeshkian stated today that Iran does not seek war but will respond to American aggression. This statement followed a series of attacks between the United States and Iran last night.

Pezeshkian declared that the country would never stand idly by in the face of threats, and that the response would be resolute. The assertion came amid increasing tension between the two countries, with both sides engaged in recent attacks.

Furthermore, the President emphasized that instability in the region benefits neither country and underscored the need for dialogue to minimize hostilities.

Tensions between Iran and the United States have been rising in recent months, reflecting a long history of conflicts and disagreements. Last night's attacks were merely the most recent in a series of confrontations that have raised concerns about an escalation of conflict in the region.

Pezeshkian did not specify what actions Iran would take in response, but the rhetoric suggests a firm commitment from the Iranian government to defend its sovereignty and security.
