The Iranian Foreign Ministry stated that regional governments are legally, religiously, and ethically obligated to prevent the United States and Israel from using their territory and resources to attack Iran, according to a statement reported by security analyst Yair Goldblatt.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry's latest call for regional governments to deny territory for strikes against Iran extends a pattern of diplomatic warnings from Tehran. The Zioneer has previously reported on Iranian Foreign Ministry statements, including a July 9 vow to punish 'aggressors' and a June 19 condemnation of Israeli strikes in Lebanon. Security analyst Yair Goldblatt, who reported the statement, has previously analyzed Gulf states' ambiguous stance on allowing US or Israeli use of their territory for operations against Iran. The statement does not specify a timeline or consequences for non-compliance.
