Gate News reports that on March 8, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi stated that Iran has never, and will never, submit to “bullying, oppression, and aggression,” and “will never allow the enemy to occupy even an inch of land.” During a visit to a medical facility on the same day, Raisi pointed out that the United States and Israel are attempting to create conflicts to provoke Iran into war with its neighbors. Iran has repeatedly emphasized that “Iran and its neighbors are brotherly countries, and relations must be friendly.” He said that Iran and its neighbors should work together and “must never be deceived by the U.S. and Israel into confrontation.” Raisi also revealed that Iran’s armed forces and militias are deployed nationwide, and if any country attempts to attack or invade Iran, Iran will be forced to respond. However, this does not mean there are disputes with neighboring countries.
