Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has categorically dismissed as “unfounded and baseless” the allegations made in a statement issued by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) regarding Tehran’s retaliatory operations amid the US-Israeli war, Press TV reports.

Baqaei said that Iran remained firmly committed to the principle of good neighbourliness and respected the national sovereignty of neighbouring states.

The Iranian diplomat pointed to the “internationally unlawful involvement of certain GCC members in the US-Israeli onslaught against the Islamic Republic,” the report said.

“Despite earlier assurances of commitment to legal and international obligations, and declarations that they wouldn’t allow their territory and facilities to be used in anti-Iran strikes, these governments did not take any measures to stop the process and even actively participated in the anti-Iran aggression,“ said Baqaei.
