Tehran warns countries against backing US war on Iran

Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei warned countries against taking part in US attacks or “economic terrorism” against Iran.

Baghaei said in a post on X that the warning covered direct and indirect support, including sending naval forces or providing military and logistical equipment and personnel.

Any such involvement, he said, “will be regarded as a hostile and unlawful act amounting to participation in the US aggression against Iran”.

“No bilateral agreement or commitment with the United States can constitute legitimate grounds for violating a state’s obligations under international law or for participating in the US-Israeli military aggression against Iran.”
