Iran's Pezeshkian Apologizes to Neighbors, Rules Out Unconditional Surrender

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian issued a video message Saturday apologizing to neighboring countries for attacks carried out by the Islamic Republic over the past week, blaming some military forces for acting autonomously following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and senior commanders. Pezeshkian announced that the Interim Leadership Council decided to halt strikes on neighboring nations unless those countries first attack Iran. He firmly rejected any unconditional surrender, saying those who dream of it "should take that dream to their graves," while reaffirming Iran's commitment to international law and regional peace.
