Tehran, March 8 (Xinhua) — Iranians will not allow "enemies" to seize even an inch of their territory. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated this during a meeting with Health Minister Mohammad Reza Zafarghandi in Tehran on Sunday, outlining the country's position on ongoing attacks by the US and Israel, according to the official Iranian news agency.
Referring to his remarks on Saturday in which he apologized to neighboring countries and said attacks on them would stop, M. Pezeshkian said "enemies" had misinterpreted his comments and were seeking to sow discord between Iran and its neighbors.
He noted that Iran has repeatedly emphasized its "good and brotherly" relations with neighboring countries, adding that if the US or Israel use other countries' territories to attack Iran, Tehran will inevitably respond. However, such a response does not mean Iran has any disputes with these countries or their peoples.
“We are concerned about the fate of our dear peoples who have suffered from regional tensions, and we offer them our apologies,” he said.
M. Pezeshkian added that despite the current challenges the country faces, Iranians will stand against their enemies and “will not allow them to seize even an inch of our country’s land.”
On the morning of February 28, the United States and Israel launched joint strikes on the Iranian capital and several other cities, killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, several members of his family, as well as senior military commanders and civilians. Iran responded with several waves of missile and drone strikes against Israel and American bases in the region.
