Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian says Tehran is still seeking a negotiated solution to its conflict with the United States, following a resumption of hostilities between the two countries. His comments come a day after renewed exchanges of fire, the first such incidents since late July.
The renewed fighting drives market reaction, with oil prices rising by more than 3.5%, according to reporting cited by outlets. Both sources frame Pezeshkian’s statement as a signal of continued interest in diplomacy even as tensions remain high.
Coverage also notes the broader political context around the U.S. side. One outlet adds that the remarks follow a U.S. President Donald Trump post that features an AI-generated video clip, reflecting how the episode is playing out not only through military exchanges but also through public messaging. While details of the incidents themselves are not expanded in the excerpts, the common elements are the renewed fire, Pezeshkian’s diplomatic stance, and the associated energy-market impact.
