Middle East War: Iran takes BIG U-turn, pledges to stop attacks on neighbouring countries

Tehran: Iran President Masoud Pezeshkian has announced that there will be no more attacks on neighboring countries. He stated that Iran will not target neighboring countries unless attacks originate from their soil. Iran's interim Leadership Council has approved that neighboring countries will no longer be attacked unless they originate from Iran. President Masoud Pezeshkian announced this. Iranian media reports say the President also apologized for recent attacks on neighboring countries.

Following the Iranian President's announcement, a message was sent to people's mobile phones in Qatar stating that "the security threat has ended and the situation has returned to normal," but then another missile attack occurred. Iran's announcement to halt attacks on neighboring countries came as countries like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates began preparing for retaliatory action.

When did the attack on Qatar take place?

Al Jazeera reported that explosions were heard in Doha, the capital of Qatar, immediately after the Iranian President apologized. It stated that the missile was intercepted before it could land. While the Iranian President stated that Iran no longer intends to attack neighboring countries, security alarms are ringing in Doha.

It is currently unknown whether the ground forces were informed of the decisions reached between officials. Qatar's Defense Ministry confirmed the Iranian missile attack. The ministry stated that "the army intercepted a missile attack aimed at their country." However, no further details have been released regarding how many missiles were fired or the target.

What did Iran President Masoud Pezeshkian say about Middle East War?

Furthermore, Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian stated on Saturday that his country will never surrender. He stated that his army continues to attack Israel. Masoud Pezeshkian made this statement in response to US President Donald Trump's statement that the US would not negotiate until Iran surrendered unconditionally. Speaking on the country's state-run channel, Pezeshkian said, "They will take their dreams of our unconditional surrender to their graves."

Since the assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei a week ago, a three-person leadership council has been holding power until a successor is named. One of these leaders is President Pezeshkian, a moderate figure, but several reports suggest he has been sidelined. This council includes Gholam Hossein Mohseni Eje'i, the hardline head of the judiciary, and Alireza Arafi, a senior cleric. Both of these are quite radical.
