These messages were aimed “to contribute to the correct understanding of Iran’s actions”, according to him.
“We clearly told the Americans that the decision to respond to the Israeli regime,” after the blow attributed to Israel against the Iranian consulate in Damascus on April 1, “was final,” the Iranian foreign minister explained.
“We tried to make it clear to the US in these messages that we do not seek the spread of tension in the region,” he added.
