Baghaei's Gulf briefing Releases and attack warning

Oct 4

Esmail Baghaei says Iran met almost all countries on the southern shores of the Persian Gulf on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly and held productive talks. He reports that an unspecified number of Iranian compatriots were released the previous night, thanks Emirati authorities, says the matter was raised with the UAE at the assembly and hopes the remaining detained Iranians will be released soon. He then warns regional countries against allowing their facilities to be used by Israel or the United States, describing their misuse for regional destabilization and military aggression against Iran as requiring special attention. These are his reported releases, assessment and diplomatic demand. The excerpt supplies no detainee identities, exact count or detention grounds, and establishes no new attack or regional security agreement.

At the October 4 Foreign Ministry briefing, responding to a question about Netanyahu's presence in the UAE and Iran's Gulf diplomacy, Esmail Baghaei urges neighboring states to observe good neighborliness and prevent misuse of their territory and facilities. He says Iran has complained to countries he alleges facilitated U.S.–Israeli military aggression and reminded them of international responsibility. He describes good UN-sideline discussions with almost all southern Gulf countries, then reiterates that regional facilities must not be used by Israel or the United States to destabilize the region or attack Iran. He calls this both an international legal demand and a neighborly expectation. The complete ministry recording and shorter IRIB excerpt carry compatible parts of the same answer; these are attributed allegations and a diplomatic warning, not an announced military action or confirmed security agreement. IRINN's complete regional-diplomacy report preserves another excerpt of this same answer: Baghaei demands that neighbors prevent misuse of their territory and says Iran voices the demand at every opportunity. That earlier part and the IRIB recording's concluding renewed demand belong to this one answer, with each report's narrower passage coverage and source attribution retained.
