Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian addressed parliament on August 14, emphasizing that no country can protect its interests by overstepping limits. The remarks come amid escalating regional tensions and stalled international talks over Iran's nuclear program.
The Iranian leader stated that countries must maintain balance and respect rules in international relations. He stressed that pursuing absolute interests could lead to negative consequences for both the country itself and the international community.
Pezeshkian also referenced Iran's consistent stance on foreign policy, reaffirming that Tehran will continue to safeguard its sovereignty and national interests within the framework of international law. He called on all parties to fulfill their commitments responsibly to reduce tensions.
The speech was delivered as nuclear negotiations between Iran and world powers remain stagnant, while the situation in the Middle East continues to be complex.
