President Pezeshkian: Iran never acted outside international law

(August 12, 2026)

In a telephone conversation on Wednesday, Pezeshkian said Iran had never sought regional unrest and denounced the United States and the Israeli regime for undermining regional peace and stability through aggression against Iran and attacks that led to the martyrdom of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and a large number of civilians, including defenseless Minab children in their classrooms, as well as destroying civilian infrastructure.

Pezeshkian expressed hope that Japan’s diplomatic efforts to establish peace and stability in the region would bear fruit and prevent crimes and warmongering by aggressive powers.

Diet elects Sanae Takaichi as Japan‘s first female prime minister

The LDP‘s alliance with the Osaka-based rightwing Japan Innovation Party, or Ishin no Kai, ensured her premiership because the opposition is not united. Takaichi‘s untested alliance is still short of a majority in both houses of parliament and will need to court other opposition groups to pass any legislation — a risk that could make her government unstable and short-lived.

The two parties signed a coalition agreement on policies underscoring Takaichi’s hawkish and nationalistic views.
