Ali Akbar Velayati, some have rumored that Iran wants to go to war with the Republic of Azerbaijan
Senior Advisor to the Leader of the Revolution on International Affairs
In recent weeks, some out of ignorance and some with malicious intent have spread the rumor that Iran wants to go to war with the Republic of Azerbaijan. This is the most unjust accusation against Iran.
Iran does not intend to have the slightest aggression against any neighboring country, whether in the Caucasus or elsewhere, particularly its neighbors, especially the people who share the same gender, ethnicity, language, religion, sect, tradition, and history with us, meaning the people of the Republic of Azerbaijan, who are the apple of our eye.
