The spokesman of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Ismail Bagai: - Tehran's meeting with senior officials from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey may be an introduction to strengthening regional security by relying on the countries of the region. The meeting will discuss the Israeli expansion and the developments in Palestine and the areas surrounding Lebanon, in addition to the consequences of the American aggression against Iran on the security of the region. - Iran does not care who takes over Israel's leadership, as its record has brought nothing but violence and murder to the region. - The Iranian armed forces will not hesitate to defend the country and its sovereignty, and Iran will not hesitate to exercise its right to legitimate defense. - Tel Aviv is experienced in carrying out "false flag" operations. - The Iranian armed forces are closely following the developments around the country, and will move with determination to deal with any threat directed at Iran. Three European countries did not act in a constructive manner during the last two years, and took lenient positions regarding the American and Israeli aggression against Iran, and sided with Washington in the "trigger mechanism" case. - Iran did not have a nuclear weapon and neither did it seek to possess one, and the claim regarding the existence of an "Iranian nuclear bomb" served as a pretext for military aggression against it.
