Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tuesday that Tehran would continue resisting attacks until what he called the “aggressors” fully regret their actions, Anadolu reports.

“Iran has always opposed war and has regarded avoiding warmongering as essential to safeguarding the interests of the people and regional security,” Pezeshkian said on the US social media company X.

“But just as it has bravely defended itself against aggression until today, it will continue this resistance with strength until the aggressors fully regret it, and will safeguard the rights of the great Iranian nation,” he added.

His remarks come amid the ongoing US-Iran conflict and heightened tensions across the region.
