'Friendly Countries Should Not Allow Enemies...': Pezeshkian On Tensions Between UAE And Iran

In an interview at the BRICS Summit, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian addressed regional conflicts, bilateral cooperation with India, and resistance to unilateral economic measures.

Defending his country against accusations, Pezeshkian stated, "You see, we did not start the war.

They started the war." He highlighted Iran's strategic geopolitical role as a connectivity crossroads and underscored readiness to revive historic trade routes like the Silk Road with India through investments in Chabahar Port.

Pezeshkian noted that ongoing discussions with the Indian Prime Minister cover broader investment partnerships, trade, and economic networks.

Discussing US sanctions, he affirmed that BRICS aims to break unilateralism and totalitarianism in global commerce alongside major economies like China, India, and Russia.
