Iran says some recent strikes were not carried out by its forces, singling out an attack on Saudi Arabia as ‘an Israeli effort to sabotage regional peace’
Iran Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei revealed on 8 March that missiles targeting Iran have been launched from residential areas in neighboring countries, warning that using civilian neighborhoods and regional airspace for attacks threatens regional stability.
“Missiles are being launched at Iran from residential areas in the territory of neighbouring countries, and US fighters are using the airspace of neighbouring states to attack Iran, all putting regional security at risk,” Baghaei said via social media.
Baghaei said Iran’s counterattacks are directed solely at US bases and military assets, stressing that Arab countries are not targets, and warned that any location used to launch attacks against Iran will be considered a legitimate target for retaliatory strikes.
The spokesperson also criticized remarks by US Senator Lindsey Graham, saying they exposed Washington’s true motives. Baghaei pointed to Graham’s admission that US actions are tied to control of global oil reserves, calling it a “very rare moment of honesty.”
In a separate post on X, Baghaei said the US-Israeli war on Iran had entered a “dangerous new phase” after strikes on Iranian fuel depots, calling them “intentional chemical warfare against the Iranian citizens.”
He warned that targeting fuel facilities was “releasing hazardous materials and toxic substances into the air, poisoning civilians,” and said the attacks “constitute war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide – all at once.”
