‘Not seeking unrest…': Iran's Pezeshkian responds to US Hormuz blockade, calls for calm

Tensions between the United States and Iran are escalating once again. Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said that the country is “not seeking unrest” and questioned the legitimacy of U.S. actions after Washington reportedly imposed restrictions on Iranian ports. Calling the move “piracy,” Iranian officials pushed back strongly, while U.S. President Donald Trump claimed Iran’s naval capabilities have been “obliterated.” With talks expected to resume in Pakistan after failed negotiations, the situation remains volatile and could further impact global stability.
