Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says Iran is “not at war” and distances his country from actions attributed to the Houthis. In the statements reported by NDTV, he frames the issue in terms of Iran’s broader posture rather than direct involvement in any conflict.
Pezeshkian also calls for regional cooperation on security, proposing collaboration among Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan and other countries. He indicates that such cooperation can occur while allowing each country to maintain its own national identity and interests. NDTV presents the remarks as part of a wider effort to lower tensions and emphasize diplomacy over confrontation.
Across the available coverage, the emphasis is on Pezeshkian’s dual message: rejection of being “at war” and a preference for multilateral engagement to address regional security concerns, rather than alignment with specific armed actors.
