Pezeshkian Informs UN Chief of Iran’s Deep Concerns Over Rising Regional Tensions
President Masoud Pezeshkian has expressed Iran’s “serious” worries over the expansion of tensions in West Asia due to Israel’s acts of terror and aggression.
He made the remarks during a Monday meeting with United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres in New York on the sidelines of the 79th session of the UN General Assembly.
Pezeshkian said that on the first day of his presidency, Israel assassinated Ismail Haniyeh, political leader of the Palestinian Hamas resistance group, in the Iranian capital Tehran, adding, however, that the Islamic Republic exercised patience to prevent the escalation of tensions.
The Zionist regime, he added, has killed more than 41,400 Palestinians in its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip and has now spread the aggression to Lebanon, where it has killed many others.
“We are very seriously concerned about the expansion of the conflict across the entire region,” he continued.
