The Iranian Foreign Minister provided details about the attack carried out by the State of Israel and outlined the measures taken by Iran in response.
Minister Jeyhun Bayramov expressed concern over the growing tensions in the region. He extended condolences over the deaths of the Chief of the General Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces, other officials, and Iranian civilians. Stressing that the current situation surrounding nuclear facilities is alarming, Minister Bayramov underscored the need to resolve existing issues through dialogue and diplomacy, in line with international law and established norms and principles.
He firmly stated that the territory of Azerbaijan cannot and will not be used by any country to take action against a third party - including neighboring and friendly Iran.
