Iran’s acting defense minister told Malaysia’s defense minister in a phone call
that Iran seeks regional peace but will not accept illegal demands or imposed
wills and will not allow pressure or coercion to erase the gains of its
resistance. He said Iranians have paid a heavy price to defend independence,
security and territorial integrity, and blamed the Zionist regime’s crimes and
aggression as a primary cause of regional instability and unrest in the Muslim
world. Malaysia’s defense minister said Malaysia had witnessed Iran’s strength
and dignity and seen how Iran resists attacks with force and unity.
