Masoud Pezeshkian, the President of Iran, apologized to neighboring countries in a video message on Saturday for the attacks by the Islamic Republic on their territories over the past week. He claimed that following the death of Ali Khamenei, the former leader of the Islamic Republic, and senior commanders, some military forces acted "on their own initiative."

He further clarified that during the meeting of the interim leadership council, it was decided to halt attacks on neighboring countries unless there is an attack on Iran from those countries.

Masoud Pezeshkian stated that the Islamic Republic "will not surrender unconditionally."

He said, "The idea that we would want to surrender unconditionally is a dream they should take to their graves." According to him, the Islamic Republic considers itself committed to "international laws" and "humanitarian frameworks," and other countries must also recognize "the rights of all countries, including Iran."

Pezeshkian added that the Islamic Republic does not intend to attack neighboring countries, stating: "We do not intend to invade neighboring countries. As I have said many times, they are our brothers, and we must establish peace and tranquility together in the region."

He also announced that a decision was made in the "interim leadership council" stating that armed forces should not attack neighboring countries unless they are attacked by them. Pezeshkian said: "This decision has been communicated to the armed forces that from now on they should not attack neighboring countries or launch missiles unless those countries ask them to attack us."
