Pezeshkian Says Accepting Iran’s Rights Key to Ending War
Masoud Pezeshkian, the president of Iran, has said the only way to end the war that began with attacks by Israel and the United States is to recognize Iran’s legitimate rights.
Pezeshkian wrote on Wednesday, March 11, on X that ending the conflict also requires compensation for Iran and a strong international guarantee to prevent future attacks.
He added that in phone conversations with the leaders of Russia and Pakistan, he emphasized the Islamic Republic’s commitment to maintaining peace and stability in the region.
His remarks come as tensions across the Middle East continue to rise sharply, with reports indicating that more than 1,000 people have been killed in Iran since the escalation began.
Meanwhile, the European Union agreed to impose new sanctions on Iranian officials and institutions over alleged human rights violations.
The sanctions decision has drawn criticism from Iranian authorities, including government spokesman Esmail Baghaei, who condemned the measures as politically motivated.
The conflict between Iran and its adversaries has intensified in recent weeks, raising concerns about broader regional instability and increasing international calls for de-escalation.
Analysts say diplomatic efforts and international pressure could play a crucial role in determining whether the current conflict expands further or moves toward negotiations.
