The president of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, announced this Saturday (7) that the regime has decided to end attacks on neighboring Arab countries — unless Iranian territory is bombed from these nations. In a statement this morning, Pezeshkian apologized to the bombed countries, while reiterating that neighbors “do not become instruments of imperialism”, referring to the USA and Israel.
Since the beginning of the war, the Persian country has launched missile and drone attacks against American targets and energy infrastructures in several countries in the region, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
“The Leadership Council has decided to put an end to attacks against neighboring countries unless Iran is attacked from these territories,” Pezeshkian said in a recorded message broadcast on state television.
Almost at the same time as the message was released, the Tasnim news agency, linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, reported another “wave of missile and drone attacks against Bahrain and Qatar.”
Until now, Iranian officials have maintained that their attacks were directed against American bases in the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf, and not against the territory of those nations, and considered such offensives a legitimate right.
