Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian reportedly apologised for launching attacks on neighbouring countries such as Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates (UAE) amid conflict with Israel and the US. In a pre-recorded speech broadcast on state TV on Saturday, Pezeshkian said Iran's neighbours will not be targeted unless attacks are launched from them during the war with Israel and the United States. According to Iran International, Pezeshkian also apologised to neighbouring countries, saying Tehran has no enmity with regional states. The leadership council has been leading Iran since last week's killing of the Islamic republic's supreme leader, in the US and Israel strikes which triggered a Middle East war. 'Unconditional surrender' Iran's president said on Saturday that a demand by the US for an "unconditional surrender" is a “dream that they should take to their grave,” according to the Associated Press.
