Iran backs nuke-free Middle East — if Israel disarms too

Iran stands for the Middle East free of nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction, provided that Israel will not have them either, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Wednesday.

“Iran is ready to cooperate to enhance security and strengthen stability and peace in the region. We agree with creating a region free of nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction, of course, on the condition that it also includes Israel, since the recent actions of this state leave no room for any trust in it at all,” Peseshkian said during a phone conversation with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Sisi.

The situation in the Middle East escalated on June 13, when Israel launched large-scale strikes against Iran, accusing it of implementing a secret military nuclear program. Tehran retaliated by striking military targets inside Israel. On June 22, the US struck three Iranian nuclear sites — Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan. On Monday, Iran launched a missile strike on the US’s Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar in response to the US attack.

US President Donald Trump announced late on Monday that Israel and Iran had agreed to a ceasefire that would, after 24 hours, be an official end to the “12-day war.” On Tuesday, Trump said that the ceasefire between Iran and Israel was now in effect, urging the sides not to violate it.

  1. A very reasonable and logical request by Iran.
    BUT-
    Rumours abound with regards to the most recent NATO Meeting alluding to the U.S., the U.K., and Israel are planning to invade Iran on a ‘soonish’ scale.
    That will be a lose-win situation, with Iran coming out the winner PROVIDED ISRAEL AND IT’S BLACKMAILED PUPPET STATES DO NOT NUKE TEHRAN!
    If the latter happens, you can bet that they will also nuke Gaza simultaneously.
    It would be interesting to see the satellite photos of Israel, particularily of Tel-Aviv and Haifa post the Israel-Iran ’12 Day War’., as the true damage to Israel is being hidden by the Zionist Media.

    • Well, you can be sure that if there is a black out on publication of the damages of Iran’s retribution, the damage is HUUUUGE !
      Iran should be prepared though for new attacks as the ghetto is inhabited by nasty vindicative people. They call themselves ” the chosen”. Gaza is the proof they are worse than Nazi’s1

  2. US/EU Turns On Zelensky Gives Up On Kiev, Aid Dwindles, Russians Encircle Pokrovsk; Israel Badly Hit

    Alexander Mercouris has changed His tune over the FORDOW strike all the while not presenting evidence to substantiate His claim only based on hear say
    The official narrative is extremely sensitive and must be protected at all costs
    With a bodyguard of lies
    Because if the mission was indeed a failure which was the objective of the raid to destroy the nuclear facilities
    That would mean that a state of war between the Zionist entity and Iran would still exist
    The offer by the US to help in the development of a nuclear program may be part of what may remain a fake narrative to obfuscate the truth in that nothing was obliterated and that there was no damage sustained
