Iran’s Supreme National Security
Council rejected reports of planned military action against neighboring
countries that banned Iranian flights due to U.S. sanctions. The statement
clarified earlier comments by Secretary Mohsen Rezaei, emphasizing ongoing
diplomatic negotiations to lift the restrictions labeled as illegal.
Officials noted non-military options exist for reciprocal measures but expressed hope to avoid them amid disruptions to Gulf routes. The clarification addresses media misinterpretations of warnings like 'flights for everyone or for no one,' aiming to prioritize talks and prevent escalation.
