Iran warns against linking Ukraine war to Iran-US-Israel tensions
- Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson warns against linking the Ukraine war to Iran-US-Israel tensions.
- Tehran confirms that its ambassador to Lebanon will continue his duties in Beirut.
- Iran calls on the United Arab Emirates to treat Iranian citizens with “foresight”.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei delivered several statements on Monday reported by Reuters, warning against what he described as a “catastrophic miscalculation” in attempts to link the war in Ukraine to the conflict involving Iran, the United States and Israel.
Baghaei stated that any attempt to link these separate crises would represent a significant strategic error that could further escalate international tensions. His remarks come as geopolitical risks remain elevated across multiple fronts, particularly in the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
Baghaei also stated that Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon will continue his work in Beirut. The clarification comes amid heightened political and security uncertainty in Lebanon, where regional dynamics, including Iran’s ties with allied groups, remain closely monitored by both governments and financial markets.
In addition, the Iranian spokesperson said that Tehran expects the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to treat Iranian citizens with “foresight”. He added that Iran will protect the rights of its citizens wherever they are, in what appears to be a message aimed at preventing potential diplomatic friction between the two Gulf countries.
