Statement by Iranian president Masud Pazaszkian

Iran will halt attacks on its neighbours unless attacks from these countries occur

Iran's president Masud Pezeszkaan declared that the neighbouring countries would no longer be the mark of the attacks unless there was an attack from there. The war launched by the United States and Israel, which caused continued repression by Tehran on the another side of the Persian Gulf and beyond, enters the second week.

The Iranian Interim Leadership Council approved the proposal on Friday, said Pezeszkaan on Saturday.

In a speech published by the Iranian media, the president besides apologized to neighbouring countries for the attacks that have taken place in fresh days.

Tohid Asadi of Al-Jazira, reporting from Tehran, said: “The message of the president of Iran is simply a deescalation, even in a very severe situation, due to the fact that it is the eighth day of the US and Israel attacks on Iran. We have received reports of the continuation of these air strikes in more than 170 cities."

Pešekhan's comments were included in a five-minute message recorded earlier. "He began by referring to attacks on housing estates, schools and hospitals, which is simply a violation of global law and regulations. He then called for unity and solidarity between the nations in defending the sovereignty of the country. He besides sent a strong signal to the Americans," Asadi said.

“The fact that we surrender unconditionally is simply a dream that must be taken to their grave. We are respecting global law and the humanitarian framework," said Mr Pezekhan in his statement.

US president Donald Trump made a maximum request to Iran on Friday, demanding "unconditional surrender".

However, the powerful Iranian muslim Revolutionary defender Corps (IRGC) besides spoke.

"In consequence to the President's statements, the armed forces one more time declare that they respect the interests and national sovereignty of neighbouring countries and have not committed any aggression against them so far", says a message that has been transmitted by the state media.

"However, if the erstwhile hostile activities continue, all military bases and criminal interests of America and the false Zionist government on land, sea and air throughout the region will be considered the main targets and will become the mark of the powerful and crushing attacks of the powerful muslim Republic of Iran."
