Pezeshkian's statements follow the 12-day imposed war by the Israeli regime and the U.S. against Iran. His remarks highlight Iran's stance on sovereignty and the importance of international law in maintaining peace and security.

The conversation between Pezeshkian and Pashinyan reflects ongoing geopolitical dynamics in the region, where Iran seeks to assert its rights and maintain its nuclear program amidst external pressures. The President's comments also underscore the double standards of Western countries that claim to uphold human rights while ignoring human rights violations by the Israeli regime in its genocide in Gaza.

Pezeshkian emphasized that while Iran is committed to international laws, it will not accept the imposition of force or the deprivation of its legal rights. He criticized the inaction of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) regarding attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities and expressed disappointment over the lack of condemnation for these actions. Pezeshkian condemned the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, highlighting the inconsistency of human rights advocates who remain silent on these issues.

According to Iran Press, he described Iran-Armenia relations as historically friendly and constructive, emphasizing the importance of cooperation and territorial integrity.

The Prime Minister of Armenia, while expressing condolences for the loss of lives of a number of Iranians in the attacks of the Zionist regime and condemning this act of aggression, emphasized his country's interest in expanding relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran and said: "We are eagerly awaiting Your Excellency's visit to Armenia, so that we can meet and discuss closely solutions to enhance cooperation and interactions between the two countries."
