bfmtv.com (French) —

Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian said Thursday that it is up to the United States to decide whether to end the war with Tehran, stating Iran did not initiate the conflict. In a Fox News interview in New York during the UN General Assembly, Pezeshkian said Iran is ready to defend itself forcefully if attacked, referencing a June agreement with Washington and dismissing US midterm elections as a factor. The remarks follow US and Israeli strikes on Iran in February and Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Pezeshkian also denied Iran seeks nuclear weapons, despite its highly enriched uranium stockpile.
