TEHRAN, March 7 (Xinhua) -- A senior Iranian official said Saturday that Iran has not and will not attack those regional countries that do not put their airspace, land and facilities at the disposal of the "enemies."

Abolfazl Shekarchi, a spokesman for Iran's armed forces, made the remarks in a live interview with state-run IRIB TV while pointing to remarks earlier in the day by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, who said the interim leadership council had decided to stop attacks by the country on neighbors unless it is targeted from those states.

Shekarchi said from the first day of the U.S. and Israeli attacks, Iran's armed forces have considered any origin of attacks against the country as legitimate targets and taken the necessary actions.

Shekarchi said that so far, those countries that have not put their airspace, land and facilities at the U.S. disposal for "aggression" against Iran have not been targeted. "However, any state that provides the United States and Israel with space or a place to be used for action against us, that space and place will naturally be among our targets."

He emphasized that as Pezeshkian said, Iran respects countries' national sovereignty and attaches great importance to all Muslim states' security, underlining that Iran has not and will not back down in the face of the United States and Israel, and will continue dealing "crushing blows" to them as before.

Also on Saturday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei, in a post on social media platform X, called on the United Nations to bear its legal and moral responsibilities regarding the "illegal war" on the country.

The United States and Israel launched massive attacks on Iran on Feb. 28, killing Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, multiple senior military commanders and hundreds of civilians. Iran has responded with multiple waves of missile and drone attacks targeting Israel and U.S. assets across the region.
