Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister says attacks only on military targets in Israel

Iran's strikes are aimed exclusively at military and intelligence facilities in Israel, as well as decision-making centers. This was reported on June 20 by the ISNA news agency, citing the country's Deputy Foreign Minister, Said Khatibzade.

"We only launched missile strikes against military and intelligence facilities, as well as the centers that direct the aggression," Khatibzade said, according to the ISNA Telegram channel.

According to him, Iran has not committed aggressive actions against Israel, and the response of the Islamic Republic is a defensive measure. In addition, the diplomat stressed that reports of Iran's plans to develop nuclear weapons are false.

"Iran has never sought nuclear weapons and will never go in that direction in the future," Khatibzadeh added.
