Iran's Foreign Minister Alaghbari said today: "Iran has been living in harmony and mutual respect with our Arab brothers for centuries. The American aggressors have launched attacks from the lands of our Arab friends, targeting children and innocent civilians. Iran's response will inevitably be directed at American military bases and institutions."
Comment: The foreign minister's remarks aim to gain understanding from Arab countries for Iran's strikes on American military bases located in their territories, and to divide the US from the Gulf Arab states. He specifically emphasized the long-standing harmonious relations with Arab brothers, strictly limiting the targets to American military bases and institutions, and not targeting Arab countries or civilians. Essentially, this is a proactive assurance to the Gulf countries: I only oppose American aggressors, not you, and will not bring the war to your doorstep, minimizing the risk of panic and backlash among Arab countries.
