TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister, Majid Takht-Ravanchi, stated that any country joining the aggression of the United States against Iran would be a legitimate target for Tehran.
If there is a country that "joins America and Israel in the aggression against Iran, definitely, they will be also legitimate targets for Iran retaliation," said Takht-Ravanchi in an interview with France 24 as quoted by Antara.
He added that Iran had warned European countries and others to be cautious and not get involved in an aggressive war against Iran.
In addition, the Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister stated that Iran did not try to negotiate with the U.S. because it does not trust the government in Washington.
"We do not trust the Americans. Not only did they betray us, but they betrayed diplomacy. We were in the process of negotiations when they attacked us. We did not start this aggressive war," said Takht-Ravanchi.
Recent negotiations in Geneva were successful, but the U.S. changed its position and missed the opportunity to resolve the issue through dialogue, the diplomat added.
