Tehran: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said that Tehran does not want to continue the ongoing conflict and that the United States must decide whether it wants to move towards ending the war.

Pezeshkian’s remarks came amid escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran, with both sides facing international pressure to find a way to reduce hostilities. The Iranian leader said his country was not seeking a prolonged confrontation and called for a decision from the US side.

Tehran Puts Focus on Diplomatic Resolution

The Iranian President’s statement highlighted Tehran’s position that it is open to steps that could reduce tensions. However, disagreements between Iran and the US over security, regional issues and military actions continue to remain unresolved.

The comments come as global attention remains focused on developments in the Middle East and the impact of the conflict on regional stability.

US-Iran Tensions Remain High

Relations between Washington and Tehran have remained strained for years due to disputes over Iran’s nuclear programme, sanctions and broader geopolitical issues.

Any movement between the two countries could have wider implications for energy markets, international diplomacy and security in the region.

Global Community Watches Next Move

Pezeshkian’s statement has increased focus on whether diplomatic efforts can gain momentum or whether tensions will continue.

The coming days are expected to be closely watched as both sides assess their next steps amid ongoing international calls for reducing conflict.
