Iran’s Pezeshkian says Tehran ‘not looking for war’ after US attack on Larak Island

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated on Monday that Tehran does not seek war following a weekend military strike by the United States on Larak Island. While emphasizing that Iran is not pursuing conflict, Pezeshkian warned that the nation would not remain passive in the face of aggression. The president made these remarks while departing for an international summit in Kyrgyzstan.
