Reports monitored by Zilla Naija indicate that the latest escalation followed coordinated strikes on Iran by Israel and the United States on February 28. The development triggered a wider regional confrontation and heightened tensions across the Middle East.
Following the attacks, Iran reportedly responded with missile and drone operations targeting Israeli and U.S. interests in the region, particularly around the Gulf area.
Pezeshkian is currently serving as part of an interim leadership council responsible for managing the country’s affairs after the death of Ali Khamenei. The council is expected to oversee governance while Iran’s constitutional process for appointing a new supreme leader continues.
During his address, Pezeshkian also issued an apology to neighbouring countries that may have been affected by the military exchanges.
