Iran has no problem with Arab states but has to target them, Pezeshkian says

Mar 13, 2026, 14:38 GMT+0

"Iran has absolutely no problem with Islamic countries, and they are our dear brothers," President Masoud Pezeshkian told his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.

"However, given that the US and Israel are exploiting their territory and airspace to violate Iran’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity and commit crimes against the Iranian people, we will, within the framework of our legitimate right to self-defense, target those bases," he said in a Friday phone call.
