The President of Iran was amazed by the IDF attack in Lebanon: “Israel is acting crazy”

In view of the massive attack by the IDF in Lebanon throughout the day (Monday), the President of Iran, Masoud Pazkhian warned against escalation that “its consequences will be irreversible”, emphasized his country’s support for Hezbollah and noted that the organization “defends its rights”, this was published in the foreign media agencies. Pazkhian arrived in New York today for the UN General Assembly and spoke to reporters there, who asked him, among other things, about the potential of Iran joining the current escalation and Iran’s possible response to the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh on its territory.

Pazkhian told reporters: “We are not interested in being the cause of instability in the Middle East because its consequences will be irreversible.” He added, “We want to live in peace, we don’t want war. Israel is the one who wants to create this total conflict.”

When asked if Iran would intervene in the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, he said: “We will defend any group that defends its rights and itself.”

Regarding the elimination of Niyya in Iranian territory, Pazkhian said that Israel carried out the move with the aim of “dragging Iran into a regional war, but we exercised maximum restraint.” Regarding the response to the assassination, he said: “We will respond at the appropriate time and place, in an appropriate manner.”

Regarding the fighting in Gaza, Pazkhian said, “We were told that within a week there would be a cease-fire agreement. But that week never came and instead Israel continued to expand its attacks.” He noted that as far as Iran is concerned, “the solution for the security and stability of the region is for Israel to stop its crimes in Gaza, Lebanon and the other countries” – it met with a discourse on restraint and negotiations and reacted with escalation. You’re acting crazy.”

In the Iranian media, they emphasized that the president of Iran expressed his country’s willingness to “act to reduce tensions in the region”, but “Israel does not want that and is escalating and expanding the war”, in his words. According to the Iranian reports, he also expressed Iran’s willingness to “lay down its weapons”, but noted that “the question is to what extent Israel is willing to do the same”.

It was reported in the Iranian media that Pazkhian also criticized the conduct of the US and said “an all-out regional war will not be in anyone’s interest in the region and in the world. But American policy supports and encourages Israel in its war. Washington’s actions contradict its words,” he said.
