BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 11. Iran intends to
resolve the issue through diplomacy after the battlefield and
secure its right to the important options that the country faces,
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said at a meeting with the
commander and high-ranking officers of Iran's Law Enforcement
Forces, Trend
reports.
According to him, the country is currently faced with three
different paths: to enter into negotiations with dignity and force
to demand Iran's rights; to remain in a state of neither war nor
peace; or to continue on the path of conflict and
confrontation.
Pezeshkian noted that the rational, logical choice based on
national interests is to complement the military success achieved
on the battlefield through diplomacy and to ensure Iran's rights
from a position of dignity and strength.
Meanwhile, as no tangible progress was made in the nuclear
negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, the situation escalated on
February 28, when the United States and Israel launched military
airstrikes against Iran. In retaliation, Iran initiated missile and
drone strikes targeting Israeli and U.S. installations in the
region. Following these developments, a two-week ceasefire
agreement was brokered on April 7 through Pakistan's mediation.
However, during subsequent talks between the U.S. and Iran in
Islamabad on April 11, no consensus was reached.
In addition, on April 21, U.S. President Donald Trump announced
an extension of the ceasefire until Iran submits its proposal and
the negotiations are concluded in one way or another.
