Iran warns countries joining war would be 'legitimate targets'

Iran’s deputy foreign minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi warned countries against joining what he described as a “war of aggression,” saying Tehran had already cautioned European states to stay out of the conflict.

“If any country joins in the aggression against Iran … definitely, they will also be legitimate targets for Iran’s retaliation,” he told France 24, underscoring Tehran’s warning as the regional confrontation continues to widen.

Takh-Ravanchi categorically rejected Iran was behind a reported drone attack against the autonomous Nakhchivan exclave yesterday.
