Iran’s defense minister says the country will never yield to forcible reconciliation with aggressors, while condemning the American aggression against the country.
Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh made the remarks during a phone call with his Russian counterpart, Andrey Belousov, on Monday, a day after the US attacked three peaceful nuclear facilities in the north-central and central parts of Iran.
In response, Iranian armed forces on Monday launched a missile barrage against the Al Udeid base in Qatar, which serves as the headquarters of the US Air Force Command and represents the most strategic asset of the American military in the West Asia region.
The armed forces described the response as a powerful and devastating missile strike, considering it to be a “clear and direct” message aimed at the White House and its allies that the Islamic Republic would “never leave any violation of its territorial integrity, sovereignty, or national security unanswered.”
Nasirzadeh described the US as the root of instability across the region, urging enhanced cooperation between Iran and Russia to create a counterbalance
“We can work together for peace and stability in the region and the world,” he stated.
