"Glorious Alert! Israel bombards and bombards civilian objects throughout the mediate East and blames Iran"

Iran denies the role

In an interview with Azerbaijani counterpart Jeyhun Bayramov, Iranian abroad minister Abbas Araghchi stressed that Tehran was not behind the attack, according to the Ministry's message.

Araghchi suggested that Israel might be liable for this, describing the attack in a message on the Telegram as "with the aim of distracting the public and undermining Iran's good relations with neighbours."

Previously, Iranian Deputy abroad Minister Kazem Gharibabadi besides denied that Iran was behind the attack.

"Islamic Republic of Iran did not attack Republic of Azerbaijan" – said Gharibabadi in statements posted by the Iranian news agency Tasnim.

"We're not targeting our neighboring countries."

" Iran's policy is to attack its enemies' military bases" active in the region and the bases utilized to attack Iran, including the US and Israel, added.

Nachichian was part of a peace agreement mediated by the US signed last year between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
