Pezeshkian thanks Belarus for its position regarding  attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities

MINSK, 20 August (BelTA) - During the talks with Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian thanked him for his position regarding the attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, BelTA has learned.

“I would like to thank you and your colleagues for the serious and firm positions you took during the attacks by the U.S. and Israel on Iranian soil. They attacked our peaceful nuclear facilities. Your speech at the EAEU summit was very substantive," Masoud Pezeshkian said addressing Aleksandr Lukashenko. “You noted the bitter Chernobyl experience and spoke about the need to prevent the events to develop in that direction and condemned the attacks on Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities.”

The Iranian president stated that these attacks were carried out in violation of all international norms and standards. ‘In essence, they [the United States] trampled on international law and all universally recognized norms. The Islamic Republic of Iran has never started a war against anyone. But when we become the target of attacks, we must respond accordingly," he emphasized.

Masoud Pezeshkian is convinced that these attacks were directed not only against Iran but against all independent countries of the world: "We understand that the collective West wants to dominate the entire region.”
