In an interview, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian addressed potential direct talks with the United States and diplomatic relations in the Middle East. Responding to whether Iran is open to unconditional dialogue with Donald Trump, Pezeshkian said, "They have martyred our leader," emphasizing that trust must be restored before any decision can be made. Addressing relations with regional neighbors, he stated, "We are not in war with Saudi Arabia, and the Houthis have their own problems." Pezeshkian called on regional countries, including Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan, to negotiate within a shared security framework, maintain trade, and pursue human unity rather than conflict.

00:00Are you ready? If President Trump seeks for direct talks with Iran without preconditions, are you ready?
00:08Right now, we cannot make a decision.
00:11You know, think about that. They have martyred our leader. On what basis?
00:18Now, a side which has martyred our leader wants to directly talk to us.
00:24It is very difficult for our society.
00:26You know, imagine a society whose leader has been assassinated and martyred,
00:33and then you expect other members of the society to come directly talk with us.
00:39So our people are very much concerned.
00:43And this catastrophe which they have brought upon us will not be eradicated from the memory of people.
00:51It is very difficult.
00:52Our leader was not only a leader.
00:54He was somehow lodged within the hearts of the people.
00:59So it is very difficult for our people to just forget the side that they have done.
01:07Is that a no?
01:11It is not easy.
01:13It is not easy. We have written down something and we have signed.
01:18The atmosphere of trust should be established again.
01:22We have to make sure whether they are telling the truth and they would stand and proceed within the same
01:30framework.
01:30From the first day, they have to try to topple down our government.
01:34Right.
01:36President, sir, what's Iran's reaction to the Mecca pact?
01:41Because we are looking at, and I'll come back to the Arab world, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey together.
01:45And you, at present, are at war with Saudi Arabia.
01:49There are attacks that are happening by the Houthis.
01:54We are not in war with Saudi Arabia, and the Houthis have their own problems.
02:00I have said many times before that all the regional countries should and must sit together and establish peace and
02:12security in the region.
02:13There is no reason for this region to be in conflict.
02:17How come that in Europe, those countries sit together and talk despite wars, which took several hundred years, they wrote
02:27down a law for themselves, their interactions, and they open up roots for each other.
02:33They have trade with each other.
02:35They support each other.
02:38So what is the reason that we won't be able to have the same for our region?
02:45Each country, with their own interests and ideas and thoughts, can exist, but within the same framework of security, we
02:56can negotiate and talk with each other.
02:59The war and conflict is not the way.
03:02A human should not kill another human.
03:05Actually, a human should not deny another human from life.
03:11That is savage life.
03:15Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan, and all the regional countries can actually maintain our own identity.
03:24At the same time, we can have a kind of dynamic economy.
03:30So all the people living in this economy can have a better life.
03:35There is no reason for one human being to fight another one.
03:39This is our belief, and we are pursuing to have a kind of human unity.
