Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated on Saturday that on Eid al-Fitr, Iran has no intention of conflict with Islamic countries or neighboring states.
Data compiled by Türkiye's state-run Anadolu Agency (AA) showed Iran has launched at least 4,382 missile and drone attacks on U.S. bases and critical facilities in seven Arab countries since Feb. 28, with strikes continuing through the first day of the holiday.
