"We support dialogue and negotiations," Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said while discussing plans to strike Iran during a ceremony marking the anniversary of the establishment of an Iranian dairy industry enterprise, APA's Tehran bureau reports.
He stated that Iran's Supreme Leader had instructed officials to put an end to the situation of "neither war nor peace."
"We can engage in dialogue with dignity and resolve the issue with dignity. We support dialogue and negotiations. Logic dictates that if we can secure our rights through negotiations, we should not involve ourselves in war. However, we will not surrender in the face of force and violence," he said.
Pezeshkian added that in his speech at the UN General Assembly, he had also emphasized that Iran supports dialogue based on justice, equality and equal conditions, demands its rights, but will not surrender to force.
The Iranian President also noted the importance of managing and conserving energy consumption, including gasoline, electricity and gas. He stated that production should not be allowed to come to a halt through improper consumption management.
