Baghaei’s regional warning UAE releases and UN talks

Oct 4

Mohammad Hasan Nikbin asks what measures and warnings Iran is directing at neighboring countries, citing Netanyahu's presence in the UAE, the Foreign Ministry's characterization of it as provocative and Araghchi's meetings with Gulf counterparts. Baghaei urges neighbors to reciprocate Iran's commitment to good neighborliness and prevent their territory and facilities from being exploited. He says Iran has explicitly complained to states he alleges facilitated U.S.–Israeli military aggression and reminded them of international responsibility. He describes good discussions with almost all southern Gulf countries at the UN General Assembly. He reports that a number of Iranian compatriots were released the previous night, thanks Emirati officials, says the issue was raised with the UAE on the assembly's sidelines and hopes other detained Iranians will soon be freed. He then reiterates that regional facilities must not be used by Israel or the United States to destabilize the region or attack Iran, calling this an international legal demand and a neighborly expectation. His allegations remain attributed; no detainee number, identities, detention grounds or agreed regional security arrangement are supplied.

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.
