Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has called for lasting peace in the Middle East, while blaming certain countries for provocation. In a social media post, Pezeshkian said that some countries have initiated mediation efforts between the US, Israel, and Iran.
Tehran has been targeted by Israeli warplanes, with Iran launching retaliatory strikes against Israel and Gulf countries. The US has also launched nationwide strikes against Iran, targeting its senior leadership, nuclear program, and military installations.
The Israeli military has announced a broad-scale wave of strikes on Tehran, with eyewitnesses describing the attacks as intense. In retaliation, Iran has launched missile and drone attacks at Israel and other Middle East countries, including Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain.
