Iran does not want its conflict with Israel to expand to neighboring countries unless the situation is forced, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Sunday, adding its response had been based on self-defense.
He added that the attacks on Israel will end once Israel halts its military campaign against the Islamic Republic.
“We are defending ourselves; our defence is entirely legitimate,” said Araghchi in a meeting with foreign diplomats, adding that “this defence is our response to aggression. If the aggression stops, naturally our responses will also stop.”
Araghchi also said that Tehran had evidence to show US forces supported the intense bombardment campaign Israel launched against it this week.
“We have solid proof of the support of the American forces and American bases in the region for the attacks of the Zionist regime military forces,” Araghchi said.
