Masoud Pezeshkian, the President of Iran, has formally urged for an 'immediate cessation' of what he described as attacks by the United States and Israel to bring an end to the ongoing war and broader conflict in the area. This statement was made public via a post from Iran's embassy in India and follows a phone conversation between Pezeshkian and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. During this discussion, he emphasized the need for guarantees to prevent such attacks from occurring in the future.

Furthermore, Pezeshkian called upon the BRICS group, which includes major emerging economies, to play an independent role in stopping the aggression against Iran. His suggestion for a regional security framework involving Western Asian countries is aimed at ensuring peace without external interference. This recommendation underscores Iran's desire for increased cooperation and support from neighboring countries in stabilizing the region amid widespread unrest and military conflict.

In a related development, Prime Minister Modi has condemned the attacks on critical infrastructure in the Middle East during their conversation. This response from the Indian leader reflects the growing concerns among nations about the ramifications of ongoing military actions in the region and highlights how countries are navigating their diplomatic stances in response to complex geopolitical tensions.
