Iran has announced that it will respond to any attack, regardless of which country it originates from, Iranian ambassador to Armenia Khalil Shirgholami told a press conference Wednesday.

He warned that such adventurism “will have regional consequences, because Iran is not Venezuela.”

The Iranian ambassador to Armenia said that the individuals who carried out the riots in Iran were from Iran. He added that their leaders had undergone corresponding training at the Israeli Mossad intelligence agency and returned.

“Many of them have been arrested and are confessing. All data must be processed to determine the scale of the actions,” Shirgholami concluded.
