Tehran decided to halt attacks on neighbouring countries and does not intend to invade them, said Iran's president Masud Pezeshkian, adding that the muslim Republic would not quit under pressure.

In a tv speech, Pezeshkian apologized to the countries of the region and assured Iran to respect their sovereignty.

The war between the U.S. and Israel and Iran has been going on for the second week, and uncertainty about the deadline for ending the war is increasing.

US president Donald Trump demanded ‘unconditional surrender’ Tehran, while Israel continued its attacks on targets in the muslim Republic and Lebanon.

Pezeshkian reported that the Provisional Leadership Council approved the decision not to carry out rocket attacks on the countries of the region unless the attack on Iran was carried out from their territory.

Early on Saturday morning, missiles were spotted flying towards Israel, after Israel's defence Forces reported firing them from Iran.

There were explosions as the Israeli air defence activated to intercept the incoming fire.

Shortly after the fire, Iran's army reported the launch of a wave of attacks on infrastructure in Iran's capital, Tehran.

Washington and West Jerusalem presented their first attacks on Iran as preemptive actions to destruct the uranium enrichment and ballistic rocket program.

The muslim Republic claims that its atomic programme is peaceful and condemned the attacks as completely unprovoked.

Moscow condemned the American-Israeli attacks as "planned and unprovoked act of aggression", to overthrow the government that "refused to step down under force of strength and hegemonic pressure".

As a consequence of attacks by the U.S. and Israel, at least 1332 Iranian civilians were killed and thousands injured, reported Iran's Ambassador to the UN Amir Saeid Iravani.

In the retaliatory attacks of Tehran, 11 people died in Israel, and at least six American soldiers were besides killed.
