On the other hand, Iranian President Masoud Pjeshkian has called for an end to the war that has been going on with the United States for several months now. He said that Iran is currently in a strong position and even though diplomatic talks have stalled, this is the right time to stop the war.

“We are now in a position of strength and dignity,” Pezeshkian said at a meeting with doctors on Friday (August 22). “So it would be better for us to end the war now.”

“The world is now recognizing Iran’s victory,” he claimed.
