Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran still seeks a negotiated solution to its conflict with the US, speaking at the SCO summit in Bishkek.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has reiterated Tehran's preference for a negotiated resolution to its ongoing tensions with the United States. His remarks came during a conversation with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
According to Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency, Pezeshkian stressed that continued conflict serves no one's interests. He emphasised that dialogue and cooperation remain the most viable means to address the existing problems between the two nations.
The statement follows a period of renewed clashes between Iran and the United States, though the specifics of those recent confrontations were not detailed in the available information. Pezeshkian's comments signal a continued diplomatic posture from Tehran despite the heightened tensions.
The interaction between the two leaders at the multilateral forum underscores the ongoing diplomatic engagements taking place within the SCO framework, where regional security and bilateral issues often feature prominently in discussions.
