Middle East
Iran backs off regional attacks unless provoked, mocks Trump's demands. The IDF targeted Quds Force in Beirut. Israel threatens anyone involved in selecting Khamenei's successor. The Iranian Crown Prince claims the regime is unstable. Iran claims attacks only targeted military sites.
Infact verdict: Mixed (54/100).
The fact-check results and web evidence indicate mixed levels of corroboration for the claims. Iran's apology is contradicted by continued military actions, reducing the credibility of the apology being serious. The IDF's actions in Beirut are partially corroborated, but the claim about targeting specific individuals lacks verification. Israel’s warning concerning Khamenei’s successor is confirmed by multiple sources, enhancing the claim’s credibility. The assertion of Iran’s regime crumbling post-Khamenei is supported by various analyses, though it remains speculative. Lastly, Iran's claim of targeting only military sites is contradicted by reports of civilian targets being hit.

Thus, this claim is partly true but not entirely reliable. Two medium-quality sources confirm the apology but highlight ongoing aggression.
