Tehran: Iran President Masoud Pezeshkian said the country is not interested in the extension of the war with the US. This comes as the two sides traded blows for the first time in over a month.

According to Deutsche Welle, Pezeshkian emphasized Iran's interest in pursuing a "path of agreement and understanding," highlighting that the war is "neither in our interest nor in the interest of the region." The statement reflects Iran's stance on seeking diplomatic solutions rather than escalating conflict.

The Iranian leader made these remarks at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Kyrgyzstan. His comments come at a critical time when tensions between Iran and the US have seen a temporary flare-up. Pezeshkian's address underscores Iran's commitment to regional stability and international dialogue.
