The interim leadership council agrees that Iran would stop attacks on neighbouring countries and would only launch missiles if those countries first attacked Iran.
Title: Iran Vows No Surrender Amid Escalating Regional Conflict
Subtitle: Interim leadership pledges limited response to neighboring countries
Masoud Pezeshkian, president of Iran, declared on Saturday that his country would never surrender to Israel or the United States as the ongoing war entered its second week.
In a speech broadcast on state television, Pezeshkian said, "Our enemies must take their wish for the unconditional surrender of the Iranian people to their graves." The comments came after Israeli and US strikes on February 28 killed Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei, sparking a regional conflict.
Iran has since retaliated with missile and drone strikes targeting US and Israeli assets across the Gulf. Pezeshkian, one of three members of an interim leadership council governing the country since Khamenei's death, emphasised that future attacks would be limited to targets directly threatening Iran.
"I must apologise on my own behalf and on behalf of Iran to the neighbouring countries that were attacked by Iran," he said, noting that the council agreed no further strikes would be made against neighboring countries unless they initiated aggression.
The statement reflects Tehran’s dual approach: asserting defiance against external pressure while offering assurances to regional neighbors that they will not be targeted without provocation.
