Iran responds to allegations of attacks on regional countries: 'We announce it officially'

Ibrahim Zulfiqari, spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, made a statement regarding allegations that recent attacks in some regional countries were carried out by Iran.

In his statement, Zulfiqari said, "The enemy, having suffered defeat on the battlefield and in efforts to form a political coalition against Iran, has resorted to deception and traps.

As part of a diabolical plan, they are copying Iran's Shahed-136 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and carrying out attacks on illegitimate targets in the region under the new name 'Lucas UAV'."

"The goal is to create division between Iran and neighboring countries"

The statement continued, "The enemy's goal is to create distrust toward Iran, portray Iran as the culprit, and ultimately incite division and conflict between Iran and neighboring countries.

Thus, they aim to make the defensive, legal, and legitimate activities of the Iranian Armed Forces controversial.

One example of this is the provocative attacks on certain centers in neighboring and friendly countries such as Turkey, Kuwait, and Iraq in recent days, and the attempts to attribute these attacks to the Iranian Armed Forces."

"Only targets belonging to the US and Israel are targeted"

Stating that Iran's defense doctrine is based entirely on legal foundations, Zulfiqari said, "The Islamic Republic of Iran, as it has stated many times, only targets the targets, centers, and interests belonging to the US and the Zionist regime. Iran assumes responsibility for every target it strikes by issuing an official statement and answers for the consequences."

"Regional countries must be careful"

Emphasizing that officials in regional countries should be cautious against such initiatives, Zulfiqari said, "The wise reactions shown by regional countries against these deceptive and diabolical initiatives will thwart this conspiracy at its very beginning.

However, falling for separatist and provocative rhetoric will encourage the enemy to continue such attempts.

Therefore, we must trust each other and maintain unity and cooperation to ensure that the aggressive foreign enemy abandons such attempts."
