During the call, Pezeshkian emphasized that the cessation must be binding to ensure lasting peace in the volatile region. The Iranian president stated that unconditional stopping of hostilities remains the only viable path forward.
Demand for Guarantees Against Future Attacks

BRICS Nations Urged to Take Independent Action
Tehran Seeks Multilateral Intervention
Pezeshkian called on BRICS nations to play an independent role in halting aggression against Iran. He appealed to the bloc—including Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—to distance itself from Western-backed military initiatives. This underscores Tehran's effort to build alternative diplomatic alliances.
Regional Security Framework Proposed
Separately, Pezeshkian proposed a comprehensive regional security framework comprising West Asian countries. Under this proposal, nations would collectively address security concerns through dialogue rather than external military intervention. Iranian officials believe this would reduce dependence on outside powers that Tehran claims have exacerbated regional conflicts.
