Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian called on Muslim countries to strengthen regional cooperation to counter "Israeli aggression" and U.S.-backed efforts to divide the Middle East. Pezeshkian stated during a meeting in Tehran with Saudi Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman, Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff Asim Munir, and Turkish Intelligence Chief Ibrahim Kalin that Iran is ready to support Muslim nations in enhancing unity, security, and development. He condemned Israeli attacks on Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, and other parts of the region. Pezeshkian added that Iran does not seek nuclear weapons but insists on its right to peaceful nuclear activities under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). He also criticized "contradictory U.S. policies," including negotiating while attacking Iran and its nuclear facilities.
