Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that Iran is not seeking war, but rather to protect its rights in response to the criminal Israeli regime's recent attack on the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

On Saturday, the Iranian Army confirmed that four soldiers were martyred while intercepting the projectiles launched by the Israeli occupation military toward Iranian territory.

The Iranian Air Defense also reported that in the early hours of October 26, "Israel" targeted military sites in the provinces of Tehran, Khuzestan, and Ilam, with air defenses intercepting the attacks.

Limited damage was reported, and the full extent of which is under investigation, it said.

President Pezeshkian, speaking at a Cabinet meeting on Sunday, referred to "Israel's" aggression against the country's airspace and emphasized that the noble people of the country and the Islamic Establishment have demonstrated over the last 45 years that they will never back down from their position in the face of any aggressor.

He asserted that the whole globe has witnessed the crimes of "Israel" and that the supporters of the occupation, led by the US, speak of human rights and freedom while remaining mute as tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians are slaughtered.

"Have these children been terrorists? Is blocking food and medicine for the oppressed people of Gaza part of the principles of war and the civilized world?" he questioned.

He emphasized that the "awakened consciences" now hate the Zionist regime and its crimes and warned that if this aggressiveness persists, tensions will rise further.

He also emphasized that it is well-known that the US is "provoking Israel to commit these heinous crimes."

"They (Americans) had promised to end the war in exchange for Iran’s restraint, but they did not keep their promise, unfortunately.”

In other remarks, President Pezeshkian expressed his condolences to the families, the Army Force, and all of the country's military personnel for the martyrdom of four members of the Islamic Republic of Iran's air defense forces and urged the responsible officials to bring the perpetrators of this heinous crime to justice.
