Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian on Saturday (local time) apologized to the Gulf countries, saying that Tehran would stop striking its Arab neighbours, unless any attacks on Iran originated from those countries, Iran International reported.
In a video message released Saturday, Pezeshkian said, “The temporary leadership council approved yesterday that neighboring countries should no longer be targeted and missiles should not be fired unless an attack on Iran originates from those countries.”
He went on to say that the armed forces so far had acted with a kind of ‘fire at will’ authority; however, they have now been notified that they must not attack neighboring countries or target them with missiles.
The Iranian President also warned the groups in neighboring countries and said, “To groups in neighboring countries who may think of using this opportunity to attack our territory, I send this message: do not become tools of imperialism.”
This is a breaking story. More details awaited.
