BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 15. Iran does not seek instability or war, but at the same time always emphasizes the importance of constructive dialogue and mutual understanding with various countries, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said, Trend reports.
He made the remark during today's visit to the Tehran Province Emergency Medical Services.
According to him, however, any attempt to force the country to surrender or accept any dictates will fail. Iran will never surrender.
Pezeshkian stated that any military actions against countries contradict generally accepted international principles.
''It is unclear what crime was committed against Iran, nor under what framework of international law and principles the attacks on civilians, schools, and hospitals were carried out,'' he added.
Meanwhile, as no tangible progress was made in the nuclear negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, the situation escalated on February 28, when the United States and Israel launched military airstrikes against Iran. In retaliation, Iran initiated missile and drone strikes targeting Israeli and U.S. installations in the region. Following these developments, a two-week ceasefire agreement was brokered on April 7 through Pakistan's mediation. However, during subsequent talks between the U.S. and Iran in Islamabad on April 11, no consensus was reached.
