Tarz Press: Iran has issued a warning that any country aiding Israel will be considered a legitimate target. Iran’s delegation to the United Nations called on all countries to refrain from intervening in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran.

On Thursday evening, October 2, the Iranian delegation stated in a communiqué, “Countries should distance themselves from this confrontation.” The Iranian UN delegation emphasized, “If a country assists the aggressor, it will be considered complicit and a legitimate target.”

The statement also clarified that Switzerland’s embassy in Tehran remains the only channel for conveying messages to the United States and serves as the protector of U.S. interests.

This development follows Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s declaration, after Iran’s missile attack on Tel Aviv, that Tehran had made a grave mistake and would pay the price. Meanwhile, U.S. President Joe Biden has expressed opposition to retaliatory strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. On Thursday, October 2, Biden described such attacks as “extremely dangerous” during a conversation with reporters, warning that they could escalate into a full-scale war in the Middle East.
