Iran will not succumb to aggressive actions, the president declared to Macron. News from Gazeta Express reported on March 16, 2026, at 21:09. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian engaged in a telephone conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron, firmly asserting that “Iran did not initiate this devastating conflict.”
He emphasized that “defending against an invasion is a fundamental right, and we are entirely justified in taking this action.” Pezeshkian communicated these points via social media.
The president specifically demanded an end to the utilization of American military installations within the region, arguing that their purpose is to undermine Iran’s connections with neighboring nations. The president repeatedly stated that “Iran will not yield to provocations,” and he appealed to the “global community to denounce this invasion.” He added that discussions regarding a resolution to the war are unproductive until guarantees are established to prevent additional assaults on Iranian territory. The Iranian president remains resolute in his stance.
