Iran Sets Conditions to End War, Demands Recognition of Rights and Guarantees Against Future Attacks
Masoud Pezeshkian, President of Iran, has said that the ongoing war in West Asia can only end if Iran’s rights are recognised and strong international guarantees are provided to prevent future aggression.
In statements reported by Iranian state media, Pezeshkian said that Iran remains committed to peace and stability in the region but insisted that the conflict must conclude with the acceptance of Tehran’s legitimate rights and compensation for the damage caused during the war.
The Iranian president made these remarks during conversations with the leaders of Russia and Pakistan, stressing that the war—triggered by actions from Israel and the United States—can only be resolved through international commitments preventing further attacks.
Iranian authorities also claimed that thousands of civilian buildings have been damaged during the conflict. According to officials quoted in state media, more than 19,000 non-military structures have been hit, including over 16,000 residential units. Reports also said that dozens of medical centres and facilities belonging to the Red Crescent Society were among the sites affected.
Meanwhile, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had launched the 40th phase of its retaliatory campaign, known as Operation True Promise 4, targeting what it described as hostile military sites across the region. The operation reportedly involved missiles such as Qadr, Emad, Kheibar Shekan and Fattah.
The IRGC said the strikes were carried out with support from fighters of Hezbollah in Lebanon and claimed that missile launches toward Israel had intensified in the past 24 hours.
According to the statement, Iranian strikes also targeted US military facilities in the region, including bases in Jordan and Saudi Arabia. The group blamed the escalation on policies pursued by US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The conflict in West Asia has now entered its 13th day, with neither side showing signs of backing down as tensions continue to escalate across the region.
