Iran is not looking for war with America

Iran is not looking for war with America, its President Hassan Rouhani told French President Emmanuel Macron in a phone call on Tuesday.

But Rouhani told Macron that if the United States violates Iran’s territorial space again, as Iranian officials maintain a U.S. drone did last week, it would be confronted.

Rouhani said”If the Americans want to violate the waters or airspace of Iran again, Iran’s armed forces have a duty to confront them and they will have a decisive clash; Iran will not renegotiate the 2015 nuclear deal.

Iran is not pursuing war, the head of the elite Revolutionary Guards said on Sunday, according to the Fars news agency.

“The difference between us and them is that they are afraid of war and don’t have the will for it,” Major General Hossein Salami said. (Reporting By Babak Dehghanpisheh Editing by Raissa Kasolowsky)
