Iran "Apologizes" To Its Neighbors For Attacking Them

 

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian recently apologized to neighboring nations and said Iran would stop attacking them unless it was hit first, which is an impossibility since Iran, unprovoked, already struck all these nations first.

Essentially, the current if nominal Iranian leader told the neighboring Muslim nations his country had been assaulting: “I should like to personally apologize to the dozen or so countries surrounding us that we have been furiously-- and inexplicably-- bombing and attacking for the last week or so. I promise that we will stop bombing and attacking you all very soon, especially as our munitions are running low and we need the rest of them to keep fighting the Great Satan and its Zionist partner, Little Satan. Sincerely, and very truly yours in Allah, President Masoud Pezeshkian.”

No one simply “apologizes” for indiscriminately bombing many of its neighbor nations for days on end, because it is a sentiment that does not nearly meet the gravity of the moment or the seriousness of the matter.

“Sorry for bombing you the last few days, but no hard feelings?” just doesn’t cut it.

How are the aggrieved nations supposed to reply? “No worries, it could happen to anybody!” No. “We forgive you for lashing out. We know you were having a difficult week. Would you like to talk about it?” Probably not.

What if Hitler had told the (remaining) Jews in early 1945, “Sorry for the Holocaust. Really. My bad. Please forgive me. In retrospect I can see it was an error in judgement.”

The truth is Iran has been the world’s leader in state-sponsored terrorism-- and has been at war with the United States for the past half century. No “apology” from it to anyone else will ever suffice. And, when it is finally defeated by the U.S. and Israel, no apology from those nations will be necessary. In fact, they will be deserving of a hearty and heartfelt “thank you” from countries across the globe, Russia and China perhaps excepted.

[Update: Since the ascension of Mojtaba Khamenei, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s son, to Supreme Leader, Iran has now stated that it never was attacking its Muslim friends, but was only targeting American interests in those countries…and will continue to do so. Things change quickly these days in Iran. Hopefully, Mojtaba’s reign will be a short one.]
