Iran’s foreign minister in a phone call with his French counterpart on Monday said Tehran would continue its attacks against what he called aggressors, including military bases and facilities located in regional countries.
“We emphasize the continuation of Iran’s defensive operations against aggressors, including their military bases and facilities that are stationed in the territory of countries in the region,” Abbas Araghchi said.
“The reason for Iran’s defensive operations in the region is the United States’ use of the territory, bases and facilities located in these countries to carry out an illegal war against Iran,” he added.
“Any provocative action by aggressors and their supporters, including in the United Nations Security Council regarding the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, will only make the situation more complicated,” he said.
