Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian has said his country’s relations with neighbouring countries are improving, while reiterating that the US was “truly unreliable” for Tehran, according to IRNA.

Asked about attacks on Gulf countries, Pezeshkian acknowledged that it was a “complicated” situation but asserted, “We could not allow Iran to be attacked from the territory of a country and not respond.”

He added, “Despite these issues, our relations with regional countries are improving.

“Pakistan is now cooperating with all its might. Afghanistan is also cooperating very well. Turkmenistan is cooperating well; Russia and Iraq also helped us well. In the case of Azerbaijan, despite some political issues, dialogue and interaction have continued,” he was quoted as saying.

On the US, Pezeshkian said, “America is truly unreliable for us, but in any case, if we can move forward a little and solve the problem, we are trying to achieve it.”
