The spokesman of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Esmail Baka'i:
- Any participation in aggression or economic terrorism will be considered a hostile and illegal action.
- The indication of the protection of freedom of navigation or the fight against piracy does not change the illegal and hostile nature of such actions.
- No agreement or bilateral commitment with America can constitute a legitimate basis for participation in the US-Israeli military aggression.
- Any country that participates in such illegal aggressions in any form will bear full responsibility for the consequences.
