BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 14. Iran has never
sought war, but does not hesitate to defend itself with power,
President of the Islamic Republic of Iran Masoud Pezeshkian said,
Trend
reports.
“It is a mistake to believe that the Islamic Republic of Iran
will accept irrational demands and double standards under pressure
or sit at the negotiating table while Israel continues its
attacks,” he said.
In a telephone conversation with French President Emmanuel
Macron, Masoud Pezeshkian said that Israel’s aggression against
Iran coincided with the process of negotiations and
confidence-building in the nuclear field: “I came to power with the
slogan of consensus within Iran and engagement with the world, but
from day one, Israel sought to prevent the achievement of these
goals by killing Martyr Haniyeh.”
Masoud Pezeshkian said that the Islamic Republic of Iran, based
on its convictions and the fatwa of the Supreme Leader, has never
sought to possess nuclear weapons, adding: “The Islamic Republic of
Iran has always been ready to reach an understanding and agreement
through dialogue and interaction.”
The French President also said in this telephone conversation
that France is ready to cooperate more actively in the process of
resolving the nuclear issue, saying: “France did not know about
Israel’s intention to attack Iran and was not involved in this
issue, so we hope that these events will not harm cooperation and
relations between us.”
