Iranian President Says Israel Laying ‘Traps’ To Draw Iran Into War
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Monday that Israel is setting “traps” to drag Iran into war, comments that came amid a dramatic escalation of Israel’s bombing campaign in Lebanon.
Pezeshkian, who is in New York for the UN General Assembly, told reporters that Iran wants peace in the region while Israel wants war.
“We don’t want to fight,” he said. “It’s Israel that wants to drag everyone into war and destabilize the region. … They are dragging us to a point where we do not wish to go.
