I guess he realized it wasn’t the best idea to drag a bunch of other Middle East nations into the war, considering they have all had concerns with Iran’s nuclear weapons program and exporting terrorism around the ME

Iran president apologizes for attacks on neighbors, mocks Trump’s call for ‘unconditional surrender’

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Saturday apologized to neighboring countries that have been attacked by Iran, adding that future attacks will only take place in response to an attack.

“I should apologize to the neighboring countries that were attacked by Iran, on my own behalf,” he said, according to The Associated Press. “From now on, they should not attack neighboring countries or fire missiles at them, unless we are attacked by those countries. I think we should solve this through diplomacy.”

Pezeshkian made the apology during a prerecorded televised speech on Saturday after Iran launched repeated strikes on Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Oman.

Yeah, well, perhaps Iran should be less wacko 13th Imam Islamist towards other nations. Maybe they should tell Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, among others, to stand down. This is an attempt by Iran to get the other ME nations to stand down themselves. Will it work?

53 House Democrats Vote ‘No’ on Declaring Iran a ‘State Sponsor of Terrorism’

A significant number of House Democrats voted “no” on declaring the Islamic Republic of Iran a “state sponsor of terrorism.”

Sponsored by Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL), the resolution passed the U.S. House on Thursday by a 372-53 vote. Two Democrats voted present. While squad members like Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) were expected to vote “no,” a full 53 proved somewhat surprising. Their names, per Fox News:

The resolution said nothing about President Trump’s strikes on Iran, while saying the regime “remains the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism and provides substantial financial and military support to groups including Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis,” adding that it “poses a direct and persistent threat to the United States and is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American citizens,”

It also cited the Pentagon as saying that “Iranian-backed proxy militias are responsible for the deaths of at least 603 U.S. service members in Iraq — roughly one in every six American combat fatalities.”

You know there’s a problem with Democrats when so many cannot even call Iran a terrorist state. I’m sure some Trump Derangement Syndrome was involved, but, I bet they would have voted the same way if it was  President Biden or President Harris in the White House.
