Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian says the United States must “receive a response” to attacks on nuclear sites in the Islamic Republic during a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron.
“The Americans must receive a response to their aggression,” Pezeshkian tells the French leader, according to the official IRNA news agency.
Pezeshkian took part in a protest in Tehran today denouncing US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, according to images broadcast on state TV.
“Revenge, revenge!” protesters shouted with their fists raised, as the president was seen making his way through the crowd gathered in a square in central Tehran.
