Iran’s president, Masoud Pezeshkian, said that Iran was fighting a "full-scale economic, military and security war," but the nation's “power and cohesion had astonished the world".

Iran’s acting Defence Minister Seyed Majid Ebn al-Reza says Tehran will resist any attack on the country’s territory, independence or security.

Pezeshkian called for an end to the conflict, saying Iran’s armed forces are prepared to defend the country while claiming Tehran has emerged victorious.
