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.”

He added, “Any state that may participate in such unlawful aggressions, in whatever form, shall bear full responsibility for the resulting repercussions.”
