Iran has rejected a recent report by The New York Times (NYT) suggesting that the country might not retaliate against limited Israeli military actions targeting its territory.
Responding to an inquiry from Iran Nuances regarding the report, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei dismissed the report as “overly deceptive and absurd.”
“ANY aggression by the Israeli regime against Iran will be responded [to] by all force at our disposal”, said Baghaei.
Additionally, Iran Nuances learned that Tehran, through diplomatic channels involving over ten countries, has warned Washington that any aggression originating from U.S. bases in the region would elicit a proportional response to the source of the attack. Some Arab states have also conveyed to the U.S. their reluctance to partake in actions against Iran, following the recent visit by American Secretary of State Antony Blinken to the Middle East.
