BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 28. The aim of
Israeli and U.S. military airstrikes on Iran is to undermine the
country's territorial integrity, the statement of the Iranian
Government Information Council says, Trend reports.
According to the statement, the attack on Iran at a time during
discussions between Iran and the U.S. shows that Iran's sovereignty
is being targeted again.
"The Iranian government, all ministries, all relevant agencies
are carrying out their work. The government, realizing the
dangerous situation, has taken the necessary measures long in
advance, and citizens should not worry about any shortages. There
are enough necessary products, fuel, and medicines in the country.
Health centers, pharmacies, and banks continue their
activities.
Necessary measures have been taken for citizens to travel to
other cities, and citizens are invited to exercise restraint and
patience," the statement noted.
The statement added that Iran will continue to defend its
territory and the government is with the Armed Forces with full
force.
Following the second round of nuclear talks between Washington
and Tehran on February 17, which ended without progress, the U.S.
increased its presence in areas near Iran, deploying over 150
aircraft to bases in Europe and the Middle East.
The escalation follows the 3rd round of nuclear talks between
Iran and the United States in Geneva on February 26. Held under the
administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, the negotiations
were seen as a last opportunity for a diplomatic resolution.
However, no agreements were reached, as Tehran refused to halt
uranium enrichment, dismantle its nuclear facilities, or accept
indefinite restrictions on its nuclear program. Israel launched its
airstrikes shortly afterward, with Israeli Defense Minister Katz
emphasizing that the operations were preemptive.
