Pezeshkian accused Trump of undermining his reputation as a peacemaker and warned that his actions risk igniting widespread conflict throughout the region. Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly and in an interview with NBC News, Pezeshkian emphasized that Iran does not seek war but will fiercely defend itself against any attacks. He confirmed he was injured during an Israeli strike in the June &#8220;12 Day War,&#8221; describing the injury as a minor hematoma.<\/p>\n<p>Pezeshkian harshly condemned Israel for its military actions, including assassinations of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/israeli-ambassador-says-operation-against-iran-will-be-completed-with-elimination-of-fordow-facility-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Israeli ambassador says operation against ... will be completed with \u2018elimination\u2019 of Fordow facility - Washington Examiner\">iranian figures<\/a> and infrastructure attacks, labeling the conflict as &#8220;savage aggression.&#8221; Although critical of U.S. support enabling Israel, he reserved less direct criticism for the United States.
