Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian says Iran will not surrender, while calling for diplomacy, as he condemns U.S. attacks he describes as targeting civilians.

Both outlets report that Pezeshkian criticizes the early stages of what he frames as an “Iran war,” and specifically refers to U.S. strikes against what he characterizes as civilian targets. The articles align on his position that continued resistance is paired with support for diplomatic engagement. They also present the condemnation as a response to U.S. actions rather than as a direct description of any new military operation.

Taken together, the coverage focuses on Pezeshkian’s messaging—declaring non-surrender and emphasizing diplomacy—alongside his public condemnation of U.S. attacks. The excerpts provided do not add further detail on the timing, locations, or specific incidents involved, nor do they include responses from the United States.
