On US visit, Masoud Pezeshkian says ‘there is no winner in warfare’ and also says Iran ready to reopen nuclear talks
, has accused Israel of fanning the flames of war in the Middle East and said he hoped Iran could avoid being dragged into acting in a way “not worthy” of it, as he spoke to the media on his first official visit to the US.
He also said: “Every day Israel is committing more atrocities and killing more and more people – old, young, men, women, children, hospitals, other facilities.” “We always keep hearing, well, Hezbollah fired a rocket. If Hezbollah didn’t even do that minimum, who would defend them?” he said. “Curiously enough, we keep being labelled as the perpetrator of insecurity. But look at the situation for where it is.”
He said Iran was willing to reopen talks on the nuclear deal that broke down more than a year ago, insisting the religious fatwa against Iran possessing nuclear weapons remained, and it was part of the Islamic Republic’s military doctrine.
