- Defending Iran's nuclear programme, Pezeshkian stated, "Nuclear weapons are in Israel, but the inspectors are in Iran," while asserting, "We have been the victims of terrorism" amid criticism of sanctions.

- Pezeshkian warned that continued military aggression and restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz could widen the conflict, stating, "Crisis will spread into the region. Expansion of war won't lead to security.
