Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian claims Tehran holds the stronger position in the ongoing West Asia war, which remains deadlocked despite diplomatic efforts. Pezeshkian stated that Iran is now in a position of power and dignity, calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities. The conflict, launched by the United States and Israel in February, has stalled due to ongoing negotiations between Tehran and Washington.
Iran's President asserts that the international community recognizes Tehran as the prevailing party and has condemned the United States for allegedly attacking civilian infrastructure in violation of international law. Pezeshkian defended a memorandum of understanding with Washington in June, insisting it did not constitute Iran's surrender, with all commitments imposed on the opposing side.
This came after Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, approved the agreement. Meanwhile, the United States plans to escalate economic sanctions, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warning that Washington aims to weaken Iran's regime through its sanctions campaign. Iran rejects these measures as "economic terrorism," while China calls for a peaceful resolution through political and diplomatic means.
