Iran Press/Iran news: Amir Saeid Iravani, Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations in a statement rejected media claims about the exchange of several messages between the United States and Iran amid a surge in regional tensions.
“Such messages have not been exchanged at all. Nevertheless, it constitutes a principled policy of the Islamic Republic to respond decisively and forcefully to any hostile move against the country, its interests, and its nationals,” it stated.
Some media outlets claimed that Washington has sent messages to Tehran over the past two days, via third parties, that it does not want an open war, and warned that escalation would be met with US retaliatory action.
The reports further claimed that Tehran rejected Washington’s threats and said any attack on its soil would constitute crossing a red line and would be met with an appropriate response.
Neither Washington nor Tehran has confirmed the reports that followed a drone attack on a US base in northeast Jordan near the Syrian border.
Three US soldiers have been killed and 30 others wounded in a drone attack in northeast Jordan near the Syrian border at a US base called Tower 22.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed attacks targeting three bases, including one on the Jordan-Syria border.
Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations also dismissed the US accusations in a letter to UN Security Council President Nicolas de Rivière on Monday.
Amir Saeid Iravani asserted unequivocally that “there is no group affiliated with the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Armed Forces, whether in Iraq, Syria, or elsewhere that operates directly or indirectly under the control of the Islamic Republic of Iran or acts on its behalf.”
