EghtesadOnline: President Pezeshkian briefed the nation in 2nd TV interview on Monday evening. The interview was broadcast live on Iran's national TV.

Pezeshkian said that has had nearly 100 meetings with officials of other countries since he took office last summer.

The president said that his administration is seeking to develop relations with all countries in the world, while prioritizing broadening ties with Muslim and neighboring nations.

He reiterated Iran's call for Islamic unity, stressing that "We are like brothers with all our neighbors.... The colonialists want to provoke us into a fight, but we must be vigilant."

"In my talks today with officials from various countries, including Russia, Syria, and Qatar, we agreed on an important point that we should not let terrorists shed blood again in the region."

On recent talks between Iranian and European diplomats, the president said that, "We were planned to have talks with the Europeans .... but they sanctioned us again."

"Representatives of the foreign ministers held talks in Europe. The Europeans sanctioned our planes and ships," Pezeshkian said.

"Despite all this, we are seeking peace and security. The mischief of the Europeans is what prevents us from solving our problems in the country," he highlighted.

Pezeshkian also noted that he had very constructive talks with European officials in New York.

"US-Israeli escalation of conflicts in the region disrupted Iran-EU talks," he continued to say. / Mehr
