Pezeshkian Says Iran Seeks No Regional Conflict
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said Tehran does not want conflict with neighbouring Gulf countries or other Muslim nations, describing them as “brothers” even as the region remains under strain from ongoing attacks and rising tensions. His remarks appear aimed at reassuring nearby states that Iran’s confrontation is not directed at them.
Pezeshkian Says Iran Seeks No Regional Conflict
In a message posted on X, Pezeshkian said Iran was not engaged in any conflict with neighbouring countries and argued that divisions among Islamic nations would only benefit Israel. The statement comes at a sensitive moment as Gulf states closely watch the regional fallout from the Iran war and its impact on security, shipping and diplomacy.
Iran Calls For Muslim Unity During Crisis
Pezeshkian also used his message to call for greater unity across the Muslim world. He said Eid-ul-Fitr should bring strength and solidarity through adherence to the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. The emphasis on shared identity and brotherhood suggests Tehran is trying to project a message of regional restraint despite the wider conflict environment.
Nowruz Message Highlights National Cohesion
Alongside his Eid message, Pezeshkian also welcomed the Iranian new year and called for national harmony at home. He said Iran now needs a Nowruz that reflects unity, cohesion and collective resolve, adding that the country must come together to overcome the storms it is facing. The remarks linked Iran’s regional message with an appeal for domestic solidarity during a difficult period.
The statement reflects a dual effort by Tehran to calm concerns among neighbouring states while also encouraging internal unity as the crisis continues to test the country politically and strategically.
