In response to Al-Jazeera question about missile attack on terrorists’ positions
in northern Iraq, he said that the option was not desirable for Iran, but
terrorists’ moves, especially killing Iranian border guards, forced the Iranian
armed forces to conduct a retaliatory and deterrent action and even preemptive
moves on some occasions.
He also said that common borders in the region would be secure and stable thanks
to the arrangements made by all the parties.
