"I personally apologise to neighbouring countries that were affected by Iran's actions. Its temporary leadership council agreed to suspend attacks on nearby states unless strikes on Iran originated from their territory. Trump dismissed this as surrender while saying Iran would be hit very hard on Saturday and warned the U.S. could widen attacks to areas and groups not previously designated targets."
"Pezeshkian's comments caused political stir in Iran, prompting his office to reiterate Iran's military would respond firmly to attacks from U.S. bases in the region. Hours after the announcement, Iran's Revolutionary Guards said their drones struck a U.S. air combat centre at Al Dhafra Air Base near Abu Dhabi and targeted U.S. forces at a base in Bahrain."
"Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei, Iran's judiciary chief, said evidence from Iran's armed forces indicates that the territory of some regional countries was being used to carry out attacks against Iran. Heavy strikes on those targets will continue, said Mohseni-Ejei, who is also a member of Iran's leadership."
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian apologized to neighboring countries affected by Iran's actions and announced a temporary suspension of strikes on nearby states unless attacks on Iran originate from their territory. He rejected Trump's demand for unconditional surrender as unrealistic. Trump dismissed Iran's apology as surrender and threatened severe attacks on Saturday, warning of expanded targeting. Pezeshkian's conciliatory stance sparked domestic criticism from hardline officials. Iran's Revolutionary Guards subsequently claimed strikes on U.S. air bases in the UAE and Bahrain, contradicting the suspension announcement. Iran's judiciary chief stated regional countries' territories were being used for attacks against Iran and vowed continued heavy strikes on such targets.
