Iran is closely following the developments taking place in the region and remains committed to its red lines, Iran’s Ambassador to Armenia, Mehdi Sobhani, stated during a press conference in Yerevan.
Responding to a question about whether Azerbaijan might take advantage of the current regional tensions – particularly the conflict between Iran and Israel – to launch an attack on Armenia’s Syunik province, Ambassador Sobhani said that Tehran is actively engaged in consultations with countries in the region and is voicing its concerns.
“Our red lines are clear, and we have proven that we do not deviate from them. Of course, we live in a world of probabilities, and some of those may be worrying, but we deal with facts and realities. We remain vigilant,” the Ambassador said.
He stressed that Iran maintains close and continuous communication with the Armenian government and emphasized that how countries behave in times of crisis will impact their future relations with Iran.
“Friends and foes are recognized during difficult times,” Sobhani remarked.
When asked specifically about the possibility of Azerbaijani aggression in Syunik, Sobhani cautioned against drawing conclusions based solely on media reports.
Addressing a separate question about Azerbaijan’s possible involvement in the Iran-Israel conflict, the Ambassador said that Iran has no confirmed information in that regard.
“There must be reliable evidence,” he noted.
