India Today
In a televised address, Pezeshkian said Iran's temporary leadership council had decided to suspend missile strikes against neighbouring states unless attacks on Iran originate from those countries.
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian on Saturday apologised to neighbouring countries for recent attacks linked to the escalating regional conflict, saying Tehran had no intention of invading other nations.
In a televised address to the Iranian public, Pezeshkian said the country’s temporary leadership council had approved a decision to halt attacks on neighbouring states unless Iran was directly attacked by them.
“The temporary leadership council announced yesterday that there will be no more attacks on neighbouring countries and no missile launches unless attacks originate from those countries against Iran,” Pezeshkian said.
He also issued an apology to regional governments affected by recent strikes.
“I apologise to the neighbouring countries. We have no intention of invading other countries,” the Iranian president said.
Pezeshkian's remarks come as Iran has continued launching attacks across the region following recent US and Israeli strikes on targets inside the Islamic Republic, significantly escalating tensions in the Middle East.
