Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says the Islamic Republic does not seek conflicts with Muslim countries which will only be beneficial to the Israeli regime.
Pezeshkian made the remarks in a post on his X account on Saturday, addressing Muslim countries on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
“We are not after conflict with you. Only the Zionist regime (Israel) benefits from our conflict,” he told Muslim states.
“Dear Muslim and neighboring countries, you are our brothers,” he added.
President Pezeshkian:

To the Islamic nations and our dear neighbors, you are our brothers and we seek no conflict with you. The only beneficiary of our differences is the Zionist entity.

This year’s Eid al-Fitr is being celebrated in a somber atmosphere as the Iranian nation mourns the martyrdom of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and hundreds of civilians and officials killed in ongoing US-Israeli aggression against the country that began on February 28.
Iran has responded by launching barrages of missile and drone strikes against Israeli positions in the occupied territories as well as US military bases and interests throughout the region.
