Tehran:Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has criticized the United States' approach to diplomacy, accusing it of using threats while claiming to pursue peace, following military actions against Iran.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Pezeshkian expressed his concerns in a post on X, highlighting the US's initiation of war under the pretense of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. He pointed out the use of the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) in Lamerd and the invocation of the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast, known as the "Mother of All Bombs," as part of what he described as a disgraceful approach to diplomacy.

The remarks were made ahead of Pezeshkian's participation in the COP31 summit in Antalya, Turkiye, where he is expected to address world leaders and engage with other heads of state. Before leaving Tehran, Pezeshkian emphasized the summit as a platform to discuss the environmental impacts of war and articulate Iran's stance on the consequences of US-Israeli military actions.
