Iran's president apologizes for strikes on neighbors as missiles and drones still pound their cities

AP News DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran's president apologized Saturday for attacks on “neighboring countries” even as its missiles and drones flew toward Gulf Arab states and U.S. President Donald Trump threatened that the country would be “hit very hard.”

President Masoud Pezeshkian, a member of the three-man leadership council overseeing Iran since Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in a Feb. 28 airstrike that started the war, delivered the message a week into the conflict that has rattled global markets and left Iran’s own leadership weakened by...
