As the ongoing aggression in Gaza and surrounding areas intensifies, Iran’s Foreign Minister has voiced his country’s stance on the escalating events in the region. He stressed that the continuous assaults by the Zionist entity are aimed at turning other areas into “a second, third, and fourth Gaza.” In a stern warning, the minister made it clear that Iran does not seek war, but it is fully prepared to counter any attack, noting that the country has made every effort to de-escalate the situation, but is ready to face all potential scenarios.
The minister also emphasized that the possibility of the conflict spreading is real, and it could turn into an all-out war engulfing various regional players. He warned that the situation in Gaza and Lebanon has reached catastrophic levels, and there must be an immediate halt to the aggression. These statements come at a time when the Zionist entity’s military actions in Gaza are escalating, raising fears of a broader war that could drag neighboring countries into the conflict.
On the diplomatic front, Iran’s Foreign Minister highlighted that the new Iranian government is committed to a policy of good neighborliness, pointing out that Iran has engaged in several meetings with leaders of neighboring countries, finding common ground on the necessity to avoid war. He also reassured that these countries have given their assurances not to allow the use of their territories or airspace for any potential attack on Iran. This regional consensus places the United States and its allies in a difficult position, especially as Iran closely monitors all U.S. military movements in the region, whether at sea or in the skies.
Moreover, the Iranian Foreign Minister underlined that any military strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities would constitute a “major crime,” affirming that Iran intends to pursue this threat through international forums. He further asserted that Iran’s response would be reciprocal to any Israeli attack, and mentioned that all regional countries have conveyed their opposition to any strike against Iran or its nuclear infrastructure.
The Middle East remains on edge, with growing concerns that Iran’s warnings of a broader conflict could become a reality. As regional powers position themselves amidst escalating aggression, the potential for an all-out war looms, leaving the international community watching closely for any further developments that may tip the balance toward widespread instability.
