Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on March 28 advised neighboring countries that they ought not to be allowing their territory to be used by the U.S. military for its campaign against Iran. “We have repeatedly stated that Iran does not carry out preemptive attacks, but in response to attacks on infrastructure and economic centers, we will deliver a decisive and crushing response to the aggressor enemy,” he said in a statement on X. “To the countries of the region, I say: if you seek development and security, do not allow our common enemies to orchestrate the war from your territories.”
