Iran Says It Will Halt Attacks on Neighbors Unless Struck First
Speaking in a televised address, Pezeshkian said, “The temporary leadership council announced yesterday that there will be no more attacks on neighboring countries and no missile launches unless attacks originate from those countries against Iran.”
He apologized to neighboring states amid rising regional tensions, emphasizing that Iran has “no intention of invading other countries.” Pezeshkian also dismissed expectations of unconditional Iranian surrender, warning that “those who nurse such hopes will take their dreams to the grave.”
The remarks follow a series of Iranian missile and drone strikes launched on Feb. 28 toward Israel and Gulf countries hosting US military assets. Some of these attacks caused casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure, including ports and residential areas. Tehran maintains that the strikes were retaliation for a US-Israeli military campaign that killed hundreds of Iranians, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and senior military commanders.
