Tehran, April 16 /Xinhua/ — No force will make the Iranian people surrender. This was stated on Wednesday by the President of Iran, Masud Pezeshkian, during a visit to the headquarters of the Iranian Red Crescent Society.
M. Pezeshkian condemned the American-Israeli attacks on Iranian civilian targets, emphasizing that striking them constitutes a complete violation of humanitarian frameworks, “which is shameful and should be witnessed by the whole world.”
An attack on another country without cause contradicts international law, noted the President of Iran, accusing some countries of silence in the face of the actions of the USA and Israel.
Speaking about the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, M. Pezeshkian stated that these actions will create problems for the USA itself, not Iran.
On April 8, Iran and the USA announced a two-week ceasefire, after which both sides held talks in the Pakistani capital Islamabad during the past few days.
After negotiations failed to lead to an agreement, Washington began a maritime blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. –0–
