In a series of statements, Iranian President Pezeshkian has accused Israel of trying to provoke Iran into a larger conflict in the Middle East, describing recent strikes in Lebanon as an 'Israeli trap.' He warned that any escalation could lead to 'irreversible' consequences for the region. The president also emphasized Iran's commitment to its missile program while denying claims that Iran has supplied hypersonic weapons to Yemen's Houthis. Pezeshkian labeled Israel a 'warmonger' but expressed readiness to engage in talks with the West to ease tensions. He reiterated that Iran reserves the right to self-defense against perceived threats from Israel.
