ArmInfo. Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has strongly warned against the presence of extra-regional forces in the West Asia region, demanding their immediate withdrawal given their escalatory moves, IRNA reports.
Addressing a parade on the occasion of Iran's National Army Day on Tuesday, Raisi said the occasion conveys a message of peace and friendship to regional countries, adding that Iran seeks to cooperate with anyone who wants to maintain security in the region. "But the message of our army and armed forces to extra-regional forces, especially the American forces, is they should leave the region immediately, as the presence of extra-regional forces does not help the security of the region," he said. He asserted that the presence of Iranian forces contributes to regional security, reiterating his call for the extra-regional forces, especially the Americans, to immediately leave the region because such a move would be to the benefit of the region and the Americans as well. "Our armed forces stood up against the terrorists and made the region secure. But foreigners only threaten the security of regional countries. The strength of our armed forces benefits the security of the region," the Iranian president added, the source notes.
We also add that the Intelli Times media resource, which is the unofficial mouthpiece of the Israeli military intelligence AMAN, which on an ongoing basis publishes exclusive information about the special services and armed forces of Iran, as well as its regional satellites, reported that Chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Bagheri warned on the eve of the visit of the Israeli Foreign Minister in Baku: "If the bases of any country in the world are used to assist Israel in attacking nuclear facilities in Iran, Iran will attack that country." In addition, yesterday a number of Iranian TG channels published a photo of one of the Azerbaijani airfields, emphasizing that an Israeli base is based there.
