Iran's president apologizes to neighbors, says will not target them again unless attacked first

Iran’s president apologized for attacks caused by military miscommunication and declared a halt to strikes on neighbors unless Iran is attacked first.

  • On Saturday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian apologised to neighbouring countries for Iranian strikes and pledged Tehran would not attack unless first attacked, remarks aired on state television.
  • Pezeshkian blamed miscommunication within Iran’s ranks and leadership disruptions after Khamenei’s killing, saying the three‑man leadership council coordinated with Iran’s armed forces.

  • Defense ministers from Riyadh and Islamabad met Saturday to discuss stopping attacks from Iran amid the mutual defence pact between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
  • There appears to be no foreseeable end to the fighting, officials say, as Iran’s U.N. envoy reported a civilian toll of 1,332 and Qatar’s energy minister warned oil could hit $150 a barrel.
