The states wont be targeted unless the Islamic Republic is hit from their territory, the Iranian president has said

Tehran has decided to stop attacking neighboring countries and has no intention of invading them, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said, adding that the Islamic Republic would not surrender under pressure.

In a televised address, Pezeshkian apologized to the countries of the region and said Iran respected their sovereignty.

The US-Israeli war against Iran entered its second week on Saturday, with uncertainty growing over when hostilities might end. US President Donald Trump demanded Tehran's "unconditional surrender," while Israel continued attacks against targets in Iran and Lebanon.

Pezeshkian said the country's Interim Leadership Council had approved a decision that no missile strikes would be carried out against regional states unless an attack on Iran originated from their territory.
