Al-e Sadeq made the remarks while speaking to Iraqi media on Saturday, warning that the United States supports Israeli flights in Iraqi airspace, which poses a threat.
He further emphasized Iran's readiness to respond to any hostile actions while respecting Iraq's sovereignty and the decisions of its government.
The Iranian ambassador also stressed the importance of regional cooperation to safeguard airspace and territorial integrity, referring to US spying flights over Iraq.
Al-e Sadeq further highlighted the need for indigenous management of security in the Persian Gulf region, cautioning against reliance on external military forces.
“Security is a completely internal and regional issue. We hope that countries in the region, including Iraq, will prioritize regional dialogue rather than allowing foreign surveillance and intervention,” he said.
The Iranian diplomat also advocated for prioritizing regional dialogue over foreign surveillance and intervention, promoting Iran's “6+2” plan as a model for maintaining security without external interference.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Al-e Sadeq underscored Tehran’s ability to defend itself and deter threats without relying on nuclear weapons.
He emphasized that while Iran does not possess nuclear arms, its deterrent missile capabilities have been sufficient to protect the country and compel adversaries to seek ceasefires.
He criticized attempts to portray Iran as seeking nuclear weapons, labeling these claims as “lies and fabrications” exploited by external powers to pressure Tehran.
