Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has declared that the only way to resolve the ongoing conflict is through the immediate and unconditional end of Israeli aggression. His remarks came on Friday in a post shared on the social media platform X.
President Pezeshkian emphasized that Iran has always pursued peace and stability. However, he warned that the current situation demands a strong response. He stated that continued Israeli attacks will trigger an even tougher Iranian reaction — one that will make the aggressors regret their actions.
The Iranian leader’s comments follow Israel’s unprovoked military offensive against Iran on June 13. The attacks targeted Iran’s nuclear facilities, military bases, and civilian areas, resulting in the deaths of dozens of top military commanders, nuclear scientists, and innocent civilians.
In response, Iran launched a series of retaliatory strikes. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Aerospace Force initiated “Wa’ad-e-Sadeq 3” (The True Promise 3) operation, delivering 16 rounds of missile attacks against Israeli positions by June 20.
According to Iranian officials, these counterattacks were carefully planned and aimed at critical Israeli military infrastructure. Iran has vowed to continue its defense efforts until Israeli aggression is completely halted.
As tensions escalate, President Pezeshkian reiterated Iran’s call for international pressure to end the conflict. “Peace will only come when the occupation and terrorism of the Zionist regime are fully dismantled,” he added.
