US ‘must choose’ whether to end war, says Iran president
Masoud Pezeshkian said disputes should be resolved through dialogue rather than killing, accusing Israel of provoking and imposing the war on Iran.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated on US television that it is up to the United States to decide whether to end the war in Iran. Iran is not seeking to continue fighting, according to Pezeshkian, who made the claim during a UN appearance. He expressed a willingness to negotiate a deal with former US President Donald Trump, but emphasized that Iran would not submit to Washington.
Pezeshkian blamed Israel for instigating the conflict. He also pointed to the collapse of a ceasefire as proof that the US must take action. Pezeshkian insisted that Iran is prepared to reach a deal with Trump, but the deal's collapse is not a reason for Iran to give up. The United States' actions will determine the outcome, not the date.
Pezeshkian also denied any formal relationship between Iran and the Houthi militant group in Yemen, despite accusations from Washington and its allies that Iran is supporting the Houthis. He stated that the Houthis are responsible for their own actions.
