Iran president says Israel, US ‘cannot impose unjust aspirations by force’
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says that Israel and the United States “cannot impose unjust aspirations by force,” as a fragile ceasefire between Iran and Israel took hold after 12 days of fighting.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran was forced into the military conflict to defend itself, and I hope that we will never be forced to fight again,” Pezeshkian says during a phone call with United Arab Emirates President Mohammed bin Zayed, according to the official IRNA news agency.
