Changing the geography of the region is a red line for Iran. This was announced by Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander, Brigadier General Hossein Salami, speaking about Iran’s current large-scale military exercises on the border with Azerbaijan, ILNA reports.

He reminded the neighboring countries that Iran is committed to the policy of brotherhood and friendship, "as long as the enemies do not prepare a conspiracy against it."

"We call on our neighbors to resolve their problems through cooperation and non-military approaches. We [i.e., Iran] have interests in this region. So, if an incident occurs in some corner of the region, if our interests are at risk, we will not remain neutral and will protect our interests," added the IRGC general.
