Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei warned on Sunday that any future use of regional countries’ territory to attack the Islamic Republic will bring a different and decisive response, stressing that Tehran expects its neighbors to uphold the principle of good neighborliness.
Speaking at a press conference in Tehran, Baghaei said countries in the region—especially those that placed their facilities at the disposal of the United States and the Zionist regime during the recent war—must reconsider their actions.
“If in the future we witness another aggression by America and the Zionist regime and their soil is used to attack Iran, certainly the response will be different,” the Iranian diplomat said.

He emphasized that all countries in the region have had a bitter experience with US military presence and intervention, adding: “We are eternal neighbors.”
Baghaei said Iran has quickly and clearly conveyed its grievances to regional countries, particularly those that provided territory and facilities to the US and Israeli regime during the military aggression.
He stressed that these countries bear international responsibility for participating in aggressive actions.
The spokesman noted that on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, Iranian officials held good meetings with almost all southern Persian Gulf countries.
Baghaei also addressed the presence of the Israeli prime minister in the UAE, warning that the Zionist regime is seeking to sow sedition in the region.
He called on neighboring states not to allow their facilities and territory to be abused by parties that have shown no regard for regional security and prosperity.
