Massoud Pezeshkian, a member of the Islamic Consultative Assembly of Iran, strongly criticized the attacks on civilian infrastructure in statements made ahead of today's meeting between Iran and the Arab Gulf countries in Oman. He also emphasized that his country will not submit to external pressures.
Background of the Oman Meeting
This meeting, which will be held on Monday, aims to create dialogue and cooperation between Iran and the countries of the region. While the main goal of this meeting is to strengthen relations and reduce tensions between the parties, Pezeshkian's statements reflect the existing concerns and challenges in this regard.

Political Consequences
Given the recent tensions and international pressures, Pezeshkian's statements can be seen as a strong message to neighboring countries and the international community. He stated that the Islamic Republic of Iran, despite current challenges, seeks to maintain its independence and territorial integrity and will not submit to economic and political pressures.
These statements come at a time when Iran is facing extensive sanctions from Western countries, which have particularly impacted the country's economy. On the other hand, the Oman meeting presents an opportunity for discussion and exchange of views on these problems and challenges.
The Future of Iran's Relations with Regional Countries
Despite the existing challenges, some analysts believe that this meeting could be a turning point in Iran's relations with its neighbors. Although Pezeshkian's statements reflect Iran's firm stance, there is also the possibility of reaching new agreements and reducing tensions at this meeting.
Ultimately, it remains to be seen whether this meeting can lead to a reduction in tensions and strengthen regional cooperation or whether it will yield no results like previous meetings. Pezeshkian's statements in this regard clearly demonstrate Iran's determination to resist pressures and strive to maintain national interests.
