Iran warns US against ‘being dragged into’ another Middle East conflict

Iran’s Foreign Ministry called accusations that it was connected to the attack that killed three US soldiers as "baseless" in a statement on Monday. 

“This is a conspiracy by those who see their interests in again dragging the US into a new conflict in the region,” spokesman Nasser Kanani said.

“Resistance groups across the region do not take orders from the Islamic Republic of Iran in their decisions and actions. And even though Iran does not welcome expanding fighting in the region, it also does not interfere in the decisions of resistance groups on how they support the Palestinian nation, or defend themselves and their countries’ peoples against any violations or occupation,” Kanani said.
