Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian has stressed that Tehran remains committed to building and strengthening relations with all neighbouring countries, including those along the southern shores of the Persian Gulf, based on mutual respect, Mehr reports.

He made the remarks during his phone call with PM Shehbaz Sharif yesterday.

Reaffirming Iran’s determination to defend its national security, Pezeshkian warned of the potential consequences of any renewed confrontation by the US and the Israeli regime for both regional and global stability.
