Iran president apologizes to neighboring countries for attacks

TEHRAN, Iran 

Iran President  Masoud Pezeshkian apologized for Iran’s attacks on regional countries, insisting that Tehran would halt them and suggesting they were caused by miscommunication in the ranks. 

His statement aired after repeated attacks Saturday morning on Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Pezeshkian made the statement in a prerecorded address aired by state television.

Iran’s president also said that a demand by the United States for an unconditional surrender is a “dream that they should not take to their grave.”
