Masoud Pezeshkian Calls for Immediate End to US-Iran War While Defending Expired Memorandum of Understanding
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has urged for an immediate end to the conflict with the United States, asserting that Tehran maintains a position of power and dignity. During a recent meeting with medical professionals, Masoud Pezeshkian stated that the world acknowledges Iran's victory and noted that the United States has attacked Iranian infrastructure in violation of regulations. He also defended the June memorandum of understanding signed by President Trump, arguing that no single provision in the agreement indicates capitulation. While the administration announced a shift toward economic pressure, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent prepared to reveal a full sanctions campaign intended to collapse the Iranian government. In response, Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned the plan as "economic terrorism." Despite the call for peace, Iranian military leadership remains ready to strike back against new threats. Meanwhile, the administration continues to maintain naval control over the Strait of Hormuz, while President Trump expressed skepticism regarding Tehran's readiness to make the right deal.
