Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian in a message to American people said both confrontation and engagement between Iran and the US are accessible, adding that Iran will endure any aggression by the US. "Today, the world stands at crossroads. Continuing along the path of confrontation is more costly and futile than ever before. "The choice between confrontation and engagement is both real and consequential; its outcome will shape the future for generations to come," said Pezeshkian. "Throughout its millennia of proud history, Iran has outlasted many aggressors. All that remains of them are tarnished names in history, while Iran endures - resilient, dignified, and proud." Pezeshkian did not mention a ceasefire offer last week by President Trump, though he accused Israel of dragging the US into a war against Iran. "Is it not also the case that America has entered this aggression as a proxy for Israel, influenced and manipulated by that regime?" asked Pezeshkian.
