Iran will not fire missiles and drones at neighboring countries  provided they do not attack

ArmInfo.The Interim Ruling Council of the Islamic Republic of Iran has decided not to fire missiles and drones at neighboring countries provided they do not attack. Iranian media reported this, citing a statement by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. He also responded to mediation attempts by several  countries.

He apologized to neighboring countries that were also attacked and  assured that Tehran has no intention of attacking neighboring  countries.

"Some are thinking of taking advantage of the situation and attacking  our land. Don't become a puppet of imperialism. We may have  differences, but supporting Israel and the aggressor, the United  States, is a very bad thing," he said. In a post published on the  social media platform X, Pezeshkian also responded to recent  mediation attempts by some countries amid ongoing regional events.

"Some countries have begun to attempt mediation. Our response to them  is clear: we are committed to lasting peace in the region, but we  have no hesitation in defending the honor and authority of our  country.  The proper recipients of mediation efforts are those who,  underestimating the Iranian people, are setting the region on fire,"  he wrote.

Pezeshkian emphasized that Iran will continue to defend its national  prestige with strength and determination.
