Iran’s Pezeshkian vows proportional response to any Israeli attack

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that Iran would respond proportionately to any Israeli attack. 

"The war in the region will not end with killings, but with justice being achieved and peoples getting their rights," he said.

Pezeshkian also stated that the ongoing conflict "cannot end by killing one or two people, but by establishing justice," referencing Israel’s recent killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.

He condemned European countries and the United States for "supplying Israel with weapons and shamelessly defending every crime against humanity".

“The governments and forces that talk about human rights and international law are violators of all laws and rights,” he added
