TEHRAN, June 25 (Xinhua) — Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Tuesday declared “the end of the 12-day war” and called on all government bodies and revolutionary institutions to focus their efforts on reconstruction.
“We are witnessing a ceasefire and the end of the 12-day war imposed on the Iranian nation by Israel’s adventurism,” M. Pezeshkian said in an address to the Iranian people after the ceasefire agreement came into force.
“The aggressive enemy failed to achieve its sinister goals of destroying nuclear facilities and disrupting nuclear research, as well as inciting social unrest,” the head of state noted.
During a telephone conversation with UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on Tuesday, M. Pezeshkian said that his country is ready to resolve issues within the international framework and at the negotiating table.
The United States and Israel are seeking to sow discord and hostility among Islamic countries, the Iranian president said. Iran seeks to strengthen unity and peace in the region and considers them the basis for accelerating development, he said.
On June 13, Israel launched major airstrikes on various areas of Iran, including nuclear and military sites, killing senior commanders, nuclear scientists and civilians. Iran responded with a series of missile and drone strikes that caused deaths and extensive damage.
On Saturday, the US Air Force attacked three Iranian nuclear sites: Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, to which Iran responded on Monday with a missile strike on the US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
Following this, US President Donald Trump announced that a ceasefire between Israel and Iran would go into effect on Tuesday at around 04:00 GMT. Both sides later confirmed the start of the truce. –0–
