JAKARTA - Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said the interim leadership council of the Islamic Republic agreed not to attack targets in neighboring countries if there was no attack from there.
"No longer attacking neighboring countries or launching missiles unless an attack on Iran comes from those countries," Pezeshkian said on state television, quoted by NBC News, Saturday, March 7.
He blamed the involvement of attacks from neighboring countries in the Israeli-US war moment against Iran on Saturday, February 28, killing supreme leader Ali Khamenei and a number of senior Iranian military commanders.
He said some of the attacks were carried out because the armed forces "acted independently."
Pezeshkian then warned Iran's neighboring countries not to become "tools of imperialism".
"Let's put aside all differences of opinion, concerns, and complaints. Today we must defend our own homeland to bring Iran out of this crisis with dignity," said Pezeshkian.
He also rejected US President Donald Trump's call for Iran to surrender unconditionally. According to him, Trump's ambition is unreasonable after ordering the US-Israel attack suddenly asking Iran to surrender.
"They will take their dreams to the grave if they think we will surrender unconditionally," Pezeshkian said.
