Iran's Pezeshkian Accuses West of Hypocrisy: 'They Kill, We Are Punished'
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian accused Israel and the US of applying double standards, Al Jazeera reported.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has accused Israel and the United States of applying "double standards" in their treatment of Iran, according to Al Jazeera.
Pezeshkian's remarks, summarized in the phrase "they kill, we are punished," reflect ongoing tensions between Tehran and Western governments over a range of regional and nuclear issues.
The comments come amid a broader pattern of sharp rhetoric between Iranian officials and Western counterparts, particularly the United States and Israel, over security and diplomatic disputes in the Middle East.
Iran has repeatedly rejected what it describes as unfair international pressure while facing sanctions and other measures tied to its nuclear program and regional activities.
Neither Israeli nor US officials had issued an immediate public response to Pezeshkian's remarks as reported by Al Jazeera.
