TEHRAN -- President Masoud Pezeshkian affirms his administration’s commitment to resolving disputes and fostering peace, while maintaining that its efforts will remain independent of the results of indirect talks with the United States.
“The administration has never tied its moves and efforts to the talks and negotiations, but at the same time, we believe that if we achieve peace and tranquility, we will have many accomplishments,” Pezeshkian said.
He made the remark as Iran and the U.S. are scheduled to hold a second round of indirect talks over the Islamic Republic’s peaceful nuclear program in Rome, Italy, on Saturday.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Pezeshkian said Iran is pursuing a dynamic diplomacy to solve regional and international issues.
“We do not seek to wage a war, but we are striving to resolve regional and international differences,” the president said. 
He noted that Iran is a victim of terrorism and some 25,000 Iranian people, intellectuals and scientists have been assassinated.
He said the Israeli regime is the root cause of terrorism in the world as it is carrying out acts of terror worldwide without any hesitation.
The Iranian president lashed out at certain countries for supporting Israel while at the same time claiming to advocate human rights, saying the regime’s acts are genocide.
He said, “It is inconceivable for a regime to easily carry out acts of assassination whenever it pleases while the so-called advocates of human rights not only remain silent but also support them.”
“If Muslim countries demonstrated their power, they would undoubtedly not dare to commit such audacity and crimes,” Pezeshkian pointed out.
