"Iran's enemies, Pezeshkian said, must take their dream of the Iranian people's unconditional surrender to their graves, in remarks that further escalate the eighth day of conflict, which has choked global oil supplies and cut world air travel."
"Pezeshkian said Iran's temporary leadership council had approved suspending attacks on nearby countries unless an assault on Iran originated from those states. I personally apologise to neighbouring countries that were affected by Iran's actions, he said."
"At the same time, Pezeshkian issued an apology to neighbouring states for Iran's recent actions, in an apparent attempt to ease regional anger after Iranian strikes hit civilian targets in Gulf Arab countries."
Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian rejected Donald Trump's call for unconditional surrender, declaring Iran would never capitulate. In a televised address, Pezeshkian stated that enemies must take their dream of Iranian submission to their graves. Simultaneously, he issued a rare apology to neighboring Gulf states for recent Iranian military strikes that affected civilian targets. Iran's temporary leadership council approved suspending attacks on nearby countries unless those states initiated assaults on Iran. The apology appeared aimed at reducing regional tensions following Iranian drone and missile attacks on the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia. The remarks occurred during the eighth day of escalating conflict that disrupted global oil supplies and international air travel.
