Iran warns of new false-flag attacks, denies reports of missile strike on Turkey 

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has warned about an imminent wave of false-flag operations orchestrated by enemies attempting to drag the region into a wider conflict.

In a phone call with Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan of Turkey, Araghchi said reports circulated by some sources claiming Iran had fired a missile toward Turkey were “completely baseless.”

He warned that such disinformation is part of a pattern, a repeat of false-flag operations designed by the enemies of peace and friendship in the region.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran is committed to the principle of good neighborliness and respect for Turkey’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Araghchi said.

Tehran is ready for technical cooperation to investigate any such claims, the Iranian minister said.

Araghchi also highlighted the criminal nature of the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran.

He said American officials are openly threatening to attack Iran’s energy and industrial infrastructure, a move he described as a blatant war crime and a flagrant violation of international law.

“The rhetoric of US officials in openly threatening to attack Iran’s energy and production infrastructure is in itself a criminal threat and a clear sign of the US government’s blatant disregard for the fundamental foundations of international law and human principles.”

Araghchi called on the international community to respond decisively.

The foreign minister detailed the scope of US-Israeli strikes, saying they have targeted schools, universities, scientific centers, historical and cultural sites, production and energy infrastructure, and residential areas.

Fidan, for his part, briefed Araghchi on a recent quadrilateral meeting in Islamabad with the foreign ministers of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, emphasizing regional support for halting the war and restoring peace and stability.
