In a message posted on his X account on Tuesday, Pezeshkian expressed gratitude to Iraq’s people, authorities, and combatants for their steadfast support during the US-Israeli aggression against Iran.
“The Muslim people of Iraq have bravely stood alongside Iran in this unjust war; this steadfastness is not due to geographical compulsion but because of shared history, identity, and religious values,” the president said.
“I warmly shake the hands of the people, officials, and fighters of Iraq in Mesopotamia. I honor your resilience and reaffirm our commitment,” he added.
The US and the Israeli regime launched a large-scale unprovoked military campaign against Iran following the assassination of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, along with several senior military commanders and civilians on February 28.
The attacks have involved extensive aerial strikes on both military and civilian locations across Iran, causing significant casualties and widespread damage to infrastructure.
In response, the Iranian Armed Forces have carried out retaliatory operations, targeting American and Israeli positions in the occupied territories and at regional bases with waves of missiles and drones.
