Iran abandoned neither battlefield nor negotiating table, Pezeshkian says

President Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran has neither abandoned the battlefield nor the negotiating table.

“We will defend the nation’s rights with strength and will not retreat in the face of any threat,” Pezeshkian wrote on X.

Pezeshkian described diplomacy and defense as “the two wings of national power” and said Iran remained committed to both tracks.
