Neither U.S. nor Iran would gain anything from war in Middle East - President Pezeshkian

BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 1. Neither the
United States nor Iran would gain anything from another war in the
Middle East, while such a conflict would destabilize the entire
region, the Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said during a
telephone conversation with his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah
el-Sisi, Trend
reports.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran has not sought and does not seek
war in any form, and it is deeply convinced that war would not be
in the interests of Iran, the United States, or the region,” he
said.

Pezeshkian also expressed hope that Washington has realized the
impossibility of forcing Tehran into negotiations through threats
and the use of force. “It is obvious that any aggression or attack
on the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran will be met with a
decisive and authoritative response; however, Iran continues to
seek the resolution of issues through diplomatic means,” he
added.
