Iran has never violated international law or sought regional unrest: Pezeshkian

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has stressed that the Islamic Republic has never violated international law and has consistently sought to maintain and strengthen good relations with its neighboring countries.“Iran has never sought unrest in the region. The US and the Zionist regime have disrupted peace and stability in the region by attacking Iran, assassinating the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, killing many civilians, including students of Minab, and destroying civilian infrastructure,” Pezeshkian said during a phone call with Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on Wednesday.He expressed hope that Japan’s diplomatic efforts to promote peace and stability in the region would bear fruit and help prevent further crimes and the aggressors' expansion of the war.Takaichi, for her part, reaffirmed Tokyo’s support for diplomatic efforts to end the war, stressing that a cessation of hostilities would serve the long-term interests of Iran and the wider region.She also welcomed progress in talks between Iran and Oman over the Strait of Hormuz, expressing hope that the negotiations would pave the way for the strategic waterway to reopen as soon as possible.Iran to allow more Japanese ships to pass Strait of Hormuz: PezeshkianPresident Pezeshkian has told Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi that Iran would work to allow more ships related to Japan to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.The Japanese prime minister also called on Pezeshkian to use Iran’s regional role to help prevent further escalation in the Bab al-Mandab Strait.The two sides reaffirmed their determination to continue dialogue and strengthen the longstanding ties between Iran and Japan.The phone call came as tensions between Iran and the US remain high. The latest round of US-Israeli attacks on Iran began on February 28, prompting Tehran to launch daily missile and drone strikes against US and Israeli military targets across the region before the two sides signed the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on June 17.Renewed US strikes in recent weeks and other violations of the MoU have, however, once again drawn an Iranian military response and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
