Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian claimed that election results in Israel, the United States, and Europe were a blow to 'warmongers,' but did not present data to support his statements. Pezeshkian accused the entities he referred to of declaring commitment to democracy and human rights while acting contrary to these principles. The Iranian president linked the voting results to the war, claiming that the United States and Israel faced a response from their citizens for their actions in the region. The report on his remarks did not specify which European elections he meant. Pezeshkian made these comments ahead of his trip to Turkey for the climate conference, where he will present Tehran's positions on the war and its environmental consequences. According to him, meetings were planned with leaders and senior officials from more than ten countries, including the Turkish president.
