Islamic countries should not allow Zionists to exploit the conditions in Syria

TEHRAN (Defapress) - President Masoud Pezeshkian, after a joint session of the government and parliament this morning (Sunday), congratulated the parliament commemorating the memory of martyr Modarres and stated that we have tried to improve our relations with our neighbors in foreign issues. He noted: In talks with different countries, we have stated our policies, we are not seeking to spread war and bloodshed. Those who spread war in the world and the region are those who shout slogans of freedom and democracy. As a human being, regardless of being the president of a country, when I see a country dropping bombs on children and women and committing massacres, and more than 10,000 children were martyred, and the world in which we live is witnessing these crimes, it is shameful.

Pezeshkian asked, "I wonder how they say we respect human rights?" and said: "Do they have the right to tell us that you respect human rights? What are you doing in a war with women and children, hospitals and mosques?" They are not human and do not understand humanity. This disaster in the region is supported by America and its weapons.

He said that we have never had an eye on the territorial integrity of any country, our region has no need for the presence of foreigners, and we hope that we can resolve the misconceptions we had about each other in our relations with our neighbors through dialogue and talking. In terms of regional relations, we are in a good position and this is the first time that all the countries in the region have condemned the Zionist regime's aggression against Iran, and we are grateful to them for this.

Referring to the developments in Syria, the President said: We hope that Islamic countries will intervene and not allow Israel and America to abuse this situation.
