Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has apologised to neighbouring countries after Iran carried out missile and drone strikes in parts of the Gulf region, saying the attacks occurred due to “miscommunication within the ranks.”
In a public statement, Pezeshkian expressed regret over the impact of the strikes on nearby nations and said Iran does not intend to escalate tensions with its neighbours. He added that Tehran would avoid targeting neighbouring territories unless they were used as bases for attacks against Iran.
The remarks come amid heightened tensions in West Asia involving Iran, Israel and the United States. Several Gulf countries reported missile and drone activity in their airspace, triggering defensive responses and temporary disruptions to aviation and civilian infrastructure.
Pezeshkian also rejected demands from the United States for Iran’s unconditional surrender, stating that the country would continue to defend its sovereignty while seeking to avoid broader regional conflict.
