President Masoud Pezeshkian of Iran says the United States and Europe had better stop approaches based on confrontation and engage in diplomacy to find a “balanced and fair” solution to Tehran’s nuclear issue.
Pezeshkian made the remarks in an address to the Shanghai Plus Summit in China's port city of Tianjin on Monday, which was held after the 25th Meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Council of Heads of State.
Pointing to the acts of aggression by Israel and the United States against Iran in June, at a time that Washington was “hypocritically” engaging in negotiations with Tehran, he said the attack proved the military option was ineffective, and will be met with the heroic resistance of the Iranian people.
