Iran to Cease Attacks on Neighbors, President Pezeshkian States

The states won’t be targeted unless the Islamic Republic is hit from their territory, the Iranian president has said

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has stated that Tehran has resolved to cease attacking neighboring countries and has no intention of invading them, further asserting that the Islamic Republic would not yield to pressure.

During a televised address, Pezeshkian offered apologies to the nations in the region and affirmed Iran’s respect for their sovereignty.

The conflict initiated by the US and Israel against Iran reached its second week on Saturday, with increasing ambiguity regarding its conclusion. US President Donald Trump called for Tehran’s “unconditional surrender,” while Israel persisted with strikes on targets within Iran and Lebanon.

Pezeshkian announced that the country’s Interim Leadership Council had endorsed a resolution stipulating that no missile attacks would be launched against regional states unless an assault on Iran originated from their territory.
