Iran willing to end war if security is guaranteed, says president

Iranian President Pezeshkian stated on March 31 that Iran has no intention of starting a war but is willing to end the conflict if there is a guarantee it will not be attacked further. He claimed that the military actions of the U.S. and Israel are unprecedented crimes and violations of international law, adding that Iran had engaged in negotiations in good faith before being attacked. Pezeshkian also said that countries hosting U.S. military bases failed to prevent those bases from being used in attacks against Iran and emphasized that stopping the aggression is the way forward. He reiterated that Iran is willing to end the conflict if security guarantees are provided and urged Europe to abandon its current approach and engage in professional cooperation consistent with international law.
