US Regional Division Accusations
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian accuses US and Israel of dividing Muslim nations
Anonymous
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian accused the United States and Israel of using Muslim countries’ airspace to attack Iran and said Washington seeks to divide regional nations and control their resources. He defended Iranian strikes on U.S. bases as retaliation for attacks launched from them and described closing the Strait of Hormuz as a response to restrictions on Iran’s access, while saying the dispute should be resolved through negotiations. Pezeshkian said U.S. military actions and sanctions have eroded Tehran’s trust in Washington, with Pakistan and Qatar relaying messages between the two governments. He urged Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Houthis to pursue dialogue, offered Iran’s help, and argued that regional security should be managed through cooperation among Middle Eastern countries rather than outside powers. Separately, he called on Muslim countries to avoid conflict and accused the United States and Israel of fostering divisions.
