<p style="text-align: justify;">KABUL (Pajhwok): The President of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, says several countries have begun efforts to mediate between Iran, the United States and Israel.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In a post on his X, Pezeshkian wrote that Iran remains committed to lasting peace in the region but will not hesitate to defend the country’s sovereignty.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“Some countries have started efforts to mediate. Our response to them is clear: we are committed to sustainable peace in the region, but we will not hesitate in defending the dignity and authority of our country,” he said.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He added that those who had underestimated the Iranian people and ignited the conflict should be the primary focus of mediation efforts.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, Pezeshkian did not name the countries involved in the mediation attempts.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Earlier, US President Donald Trump said there would be no agreement with Iran.</p>
