Europeans 'will be legitimate targets' if they join war, Iran's deputy FM warns

In an interview with FRANCE 24, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi said Tehran had "already informed the Europeans and everybody else that they should be careful not to be involved in this war of aggression against Iran". He warned that if any country "joins America and Israel in the aggression against Iran, they will be also legitimate targets for Iran's retaliation".

Takht-Ravanchi told FRANCE 24 that Iranian officials had been "negotiating in good faith" with the US, adding that "the last round of the talks in Geneva last Thursday was a success" before the US government on Saturday "with the help of the Israeli regime, started an aggression against Iran".

The Iranian deputy foreign minister also confirmed that Iran was striking Kurdish groups inside neighbouring Iraq, amid reports the CIA and Mossad are arming those groups.

So far, they’re being smart about it.

In England, only 8% of the people support getting into this war. They’ve learned the lessons of Iraq even if we haven’t.
