Iranian president says Tehran seeks peace with neighbours

“To Islamic countries and our dear neighbours: you are our brothers, and we have no intention of entering into conflict with you,” Pezeshkian wrote on X, Caliber.Az reports.

إلى الدول الإسلامية وجيراننا الأعزاء، أنتم إخوتنا ولسنا في صدد أي نزاع معكم. المستفيد الوحيد من خلافاتنا هو الكيان الصهيوني.
نسأل الله في #عيد_الفطر أن يمنحنا القوة والوحدة بالعمل بتعاليم #رسول_الله لنيل رضاه.
