TEHRAN, Mar. 8 (Bernama-MNA) -- Iran’s deputy foreign minister for Legal and International Affairs made it clear that the Islamic Republic is "not targeting neighbouring countries", following reports of drone strikes on Nakhchivan International Airport in Azerbaijan, Mehr News Agency (MNA) reported.

In an exclusive interview with AnewZ on Thursday, Kazem Gharibabadi emphasised that Iran’s policy is to strike only military bases of its adversaries, including the United States and the Zionist regime.

“Because we have announced it from the beginning that, if there are any military bases in the region and they are used to attack Iran, we will target them. So that was the policy that we have,” the deputy foreign minister stated.

He noted that the incident in Nakhchivan must be investigated.
