Tehran does not like neighboring countries to become a battlefield with fake Israeli regime. Iranian Ambassador to Azerbaijan Seyed Abbas Mousavi said in an interview with Iranian media on Friday, the Mehr News Agency reported.

"In the talks and negotiations that we have with the officials of the neighboring and friendly country of Azerbaijan, we have clearly warned about the consequences of the presence and influence of the Zionist regime in the form of economic and cultural cooperation, and we have said that the Zionist regime will never be a friend of Muslim states and nations. Strengthening and normalizing relations with Islamic countries is a special project of this regime to create division among Muslim countries, institutionalize usurpation and occupation, and continue crimes against the Palestinian nation and other Muslim nations," the Iranian envoy said.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran is not interested in making neighboring countries a place for Iran to settle with the Zionist regime," he added.

"If the Zionists seek to get closer to Iran's neighbors so as to create a gap between Muslims and neighboring countries, it must know that that's not the right way and it will definitely regret it," Iran's envoy underscored.
