Tehran:
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Monday his country has “the right to respond” to any aggression, after German Chancellor Olaf Scholz urged de-escalation amid soaring tensions with Israel.
“While emphasising diplomatic solutions to issues, Iran will never give in to pressure, to sanctions and to bullying and considers it has the right to respond to aggressors in accordance with international norms,” Pezeshkian said according to a statement published by official news agency IRNA following a phone call with Scholz.
