Iranian President Emphasizes Efforts to End Conflict with US in a Dignified Manner
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that his country is striving to end the war with the United States honorably. During a visit to the Ministry of Sports and Youth in Tehran on April 19, 2026, he responded to U.S. President Donald Trump's statements regarding Iran's nuclear rights, asserting that Iran has committed no crime and is merely defending itself against threats.
Pezeshkian called for solidarity among the Iranian people in facing external pressures, emphasizing that Iran is not the instigator of the conflict. Tensions between the U.S., Israel, and Iran escalated following a joint attack on February 28, which Iran retaliated against with strikes on Israel and territories with U.S. military assets.
Pakistan's mediation successfully secured a ceasefire starting April 8, with diplomatic negotiations between Washington and Tehran in Pakistan continuing to seek a permanent peaceful solution.
