TEHRAN: Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian has stated that Tehran will not carry out attacks or missile strikes against neighbouring countries.
In a statement, Pezeshkian said Iran regrets the recent incidents and apologises to neighbouring states over the attacks that took place in recent days, adding that Tehran has no intention of targeting other countries.
The Iranian president further said that the interim leadership council has approved a decision not to conduct any attacks or missile strikes against neighbouring nations.
However, he added that Iran would refrain from such actions as long as its territory is not attacked from the soil of those countries.
Pezeshkian also emphasised that Iran would not surrender to the United States or Israel, saying the country’s adversaries would have to “take their wish of Iranian surrender to the grave.”
His remarks come after recent tensions following strikes on Iran by the United States and Israel, after which Tehran reportedly targeted US military bases located in neighbouring countries, leaving several civilians injured.
