Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi stated that Tehran did not strike Azerbaijani territory.
“Iran does not strike neighboring countries. This incident requires a thorough investigation,” the diplomat said in an interview with AnewZ TV.
He emphasized that the Islamic Republic’s defense strategy calls for striking only its adversaries, including military bases of the US and the Zionist regime. “Only those countries that provide their territory to Iran’s adversaries for the deployment of military bases can be targeted,” the diplomat noted.
