TEHRAN/CAIRO, Jan. 31 (Xinhua) -- Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and his Egyptian counterpart Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi on Saturday discussed in a phone call the necessity of resorting to diplomacy for the resolution of regional issues, amid rising Iran-U.S. tensions.
Pezeshkian said that Iran has in no way sought war and believes that war will neither be in its own interest nor that of the United States and the West Asia region, according to a statement published on the website of his office.
