Iran’s hardline judiciary chief declared on Saturday that the Islamic Republic will persist in targeting regional neighbours that are perceived as aiding its enemies.
This statement follows accusations that some Gulf countries are providing “points used in aggression against our country.”
In his remarks, Ejei cited “evidence from Iran’s armed forces” which suggests that the geography of certain regional nations is being used, both openly and covertly, against Iran. He added that “the government and other pillars of the system are in agreement” that “heavy attacks on these targets will continue.”
This development follows the escalation of the conflict, which began with US-Israeli strikes on February 28 that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. As part of the retaliation, Iran has launched multiple attacks on its Gulf neighbours, some of which have reportedly targeted civilian infrastructure. However, Tehran maintains that its strikes are solely directed at US assets and military bases.
Despite these aggressive actions, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian apologised earlier for the attacks on its neighbours, vowing to show restraint unless their territories are used to launch strikes against Iran. This statement was met with rejection by Gulf nations, who have maintained that their lands were not used as launch points for attacks on Iran.
Furthermore, Iran’s parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said that as long as US military bases remain in the region, peace will not be achievable.
