Washington, Sept 25:
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said it is up to the United States to decide whether and when the ongoing Iran war should come to an end, amid continuing diplomatic efforts to halt the conflict.
Pezeshkian made the remarks when asked about the prospects for ending the war. His comments came as the conflict continued to affect the wider Middle East and raised concerns over regional security and energy supplies.
The United States and Iran have been involved in efforts to find a diplomatic path towards ending the conflict, but major differences remain between the two sides.
The war has also affected oil markets and shipping routes in the region, with developments involving Iran and its allies being closely watched by governments and energy markets worldwide.
