Iran’s president urged an end to the war with the US, in his latest pushback against hardliners who want to continue the conflict.
“It would be better to end the war today, when we have power and dignity, and with the whole world acknowledging our victory,” Masoud Pezeshkian said, according to the semi-official Iranian Students’ News Agency.
Pezeshkian, along with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and lead negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, have been vocal advocates of ending the war through diplomacy and prioritizing economic recovery since the signing of a now-collapsed ceasefire. His comments come as the conflict shows no sign of a quick resolution and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is expected to unveil plans to economically isolate Iran and its trading partners. We get the latest from Bloomberg’s Tyler Kendall in Washington.
