Pezeshkian: Iran will respond decisively to any ceasefire violation 

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has condemned the violations of the ceasefire reached between Iran and the United States, vowing that the Islamic Republic will respond “decisively” to any attack.

In a phone call with Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, Pezeshkian condemned the attacks carried out on the islands of Lavan and Siri on Wednesday morning.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran will respond decisively to any aggression,” he emphasized.

The attacks came despite the announcement of a Pakistan-mediated ceasefire earlier on Wednesday after 41 days of intense fighting between Iran and the US-Israeli coalition.

On Wednesday, the United States and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire after Washington received a 10-point proposal from Tehran.

Amid intensified Israelis strikes on Lebanon, the Iranian president stressed that Iran’s 10-point proposal, which marks a framework for a permanent end to the war, includes the establishment of a ceasefire in Lebanon.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Pezeshkian appreciated Pakistan’s “constructive” efforts to stop the war.

He pointed out that Tehran’s acceptance of the ceasefire despite repeated US violations of its commitments and international law demonstrates Iran's “responsible and authoritative” approach.

The president urged countries in the region and the world to “seize this opportunity to put pressure on the aggressors in order to avoid repeating the strategic mistake”.

Pezeshkian emphasized that Tehran’s approach hinges on the aggressors’ actual commitment to the principles of negotiation and adherence to their obligations.

He also reiterated that the security of the vital waterway of Hormuz Strait depends on the complete cessation of the US-Israeli aggression.
