Iran: Our neighbors will not allow the use of their land or airspace for attacks  - 1

Iran's neighbors will not allow the use of their "land or airspace" for attacks, said Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, quoted by France Presse, BTA reported.

Israel is considering a response to Iran's Oct. 1 missile attack on Israeli territory.

"All our neighbors have assured us that they will not allow their land or their airspace to be used against the Islamic Republic of Iran,", Aragchi stressed at a press conference in Kuwait.

Israel is at war with "Hamas" in Gaza and with the Lebanese "Hezbollah" - two groups supported by Iran, AFP recalls.

Before Kuwait, the head of Iranian diplomacy was in Bahrain yesterday, as part of a regional tour that took him to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Iraq, Egypt and Turkey.

"We closely monitor the movement in the US bases in the region and are aware of all their flights and movements,", Aragchi said, assuring that "if Israel attacks Iran in any way, Iran will retaliate." .

The US is a staunch ally of Israel and has military assets throughout the region, particularly in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE.

Aragchi also reiterated Iran's warnings against a possible Israeli attack on its nuclear sites. "Attack against nuclear facilities is a serious international crime, even making threats of such an attack is a crime," he stressed.

"To protect ourselves and our nuclear sites, we have our own means and methods that we rely on," added the Iranian foreign minister.
