Iranian President’s Apology: First Sign of De-escalation?

The situation in the Middle East is continuing to deteriorate every single day after the United States and Israel have collaborated to attack Iran and uproot its administration. 

As a part of the retaliatory efforts, Iran has started to fight back against the gulf countries which have been harbouring United States authorities, and their military support. In this connection, Iran has bombed Dubai airport with a drone attack today and it has become a major global concern. 

When asked to speak on this matter, here is for Iranian president had to say as he had a very consolidated stand on this matter. 

After a series of attacks on Gulf states, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said he apologized to the neighbors and announced that Iran has “no intention of attacking other countries.”

He claimed that the Interim Leadership Council approved that neighboring countries will not be attacked henceforth. However, if an attack comes from those countries, Iran would retaliate with as much might. 

The fact that the Iranian leadership has apologised for what has happened in the Gulf countries could be considered as the first step towards de-escalation in the Middle East and this could be regarded as a big development. 

On top of that, the Iranian leadership has confirmed that they would hit back at other countries only after they attack Iran first, and added that they would not initiate an attack anyone.
