Tehran supports mediation to contain US-Israeli war on Iran
Shafaq News- Tehran
Several countries began mediation initiatives to contain the US-Israeli war on Iran, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Friday, noting that Tehran supports efforts aimed at achieving “lasting peace.”
In a statement, Pezeshkian pointed out that Iranians “have no hesitation in defending the nation's dignity and sovereignty.” Mediation, he added, should address those he accused of igniting the conflict and underestimating the Iranian people.
Some countries have begun mediation efforts. Let's be clear: we are committed to lasting peace in the region yet we have no hesitation in defending our nation's dignity & sovereignty. Mediation should address those who underestimated the Iranian people and ignited this conflict https://t.co/MxWCuNYOYR

Earlier today, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called for a negotiated settlement to end the escalating confrontation, warning that the conflict has already affected multiple countries across the region and describing it as one of the most serious international crises in decades.
