Warning against escalation

Historical perspective on US–Iran relations

Call for dialogue and moderation
He emphasized the need to distinguish between governments and peoples, urging dialogue and peaceful solutions instead of targeting vital infrastructure, due to its direct impact on civilians and regional stability.
