Iran Does Not Want War with US, Says President Pezeshkian

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said that Tehran does not seek to continue the war with the United States and that Washington must decide whether to bring the conflict to an end. In an interview aired on Fox News, Pezeshkian said Iran remains open to an agreement with the US, while maintaining that Tehran would not surrender to American pressure.

Meanwhile, tensions have continued elsewhere in the region. Yemen's Houthi movement has stepped up attacks against Saudi Arabia, prompting Riyadh and its partners to discuss additional security measures. Saudi Arabia has reported intercepting ballistic missiles launched toward areas including Taif and the Red Sea region. The renewed attacks have added to wider concerns over regional security and the potential impact on energy and shipping routes.
