Iran says it will halt strikes on neighbours unless attacked first

Tehran: Iran has announced it will halt attacks on neighbouring countries unless strikes against it originate from their territory.

President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Saturday that the country’s temporary leadership council had approved the suspension of attacks under that condition.

He stated, 'No missiles will be fired unless an attack on Iran originates from those countries'.

The statement was made as Iran continued its regional attacks in response to US-Israeli strikes on the Islamic Republic.
