Iran’s leadership council has authorized halting attacks on neighbors unless attacked first, said President Masoud Pezeshkian, following US President Trump’s demand for surrender.
In a major development, Iran’s provisional leadership council has authorised the halt of assaults against neighbouring countries unless those nations launch an attack on Iran, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announced on Saturday.
The announcement was made as Iran was still attacking the region in retaliation for strikes on the Islamic Republic by the United States and Israel.
“They’ll take their hopes of our unconditional surrender to the grave,” he declared.Following US President Donald Trump’s earlier declaration that there will be “no deal with Iran except unconditional surrender” and that Tehran must submit before any diplomatic talks can begin, the Iranian president responded.
