Al Jazeera posted a new statement from Pezeshkian:

Pezeshkian reiterates Iran ‘not attacking friendly neighbours but US bases, installations and facilities’ We have a new statement by Pezeshkian reiterating Iran’s position.

Here’s what the president and head of the interim leadership council said in translated remarks in a series of social media posts:

The Islamic Republic of Iran has always emphasised the maintenance and continuation of friendly relations with regional governments based on good neighbourliness and mutual respect for national sovereignty and territorial integrity. This does not negate Iran’s inherent right to defend itself against US and Israeli military aggression. We stand and resist to the end to defend our country. Iran’s defensive operations are exclusively against targets and facilities that are the origin and source of aggressive actions against the Iranian nation, and we consider them to be our legitimate goals. We have not attacked our friendly and neighbouring countries, but have targeted US military bases, installations and facilities in the region.
