The Islamic government in Tehran warned Romania that providing bases to the US airforce amounts to participation in the attacks against it, according to a series of statements offered on Monday, March 16, by a spokesman of the\u00a0Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n
The spokesman argued that Romania’s support for the US \u201cwould incur international responsibility if implemented,\u201d according to the Iran International<\/a> television, which broadcasts from the United Kingdom in Persian.<\/p>\n “If Romania makes its bases available to the United States, it would amount to participation in military aggression against Iran,” said Iranian official Esmaeil Baghaei in a video conference.<\/p>\n He said such a move would be unacceptable under international law and would carry international responsibility for Romania.<\/p>\n The official was responding to a question regarding Romania\u2019s agreement for the US to use the Kog\u0103lniceanu base for tanker aircraft operating in the Gulf area. Baghaei urged third countries not to get involved in the war.<\/p>\n The first three KC-135 Stratotanker-type planes arrived in Bucharest<\/a> on Sunday, March 15, along with a contingent of US soldiers. The arrival was announced by Romanian defense minister Radu Miru\u021b\u0103, who said that the planes carried no weapons or explosives on board and that Parliament had limited their number.<\/p>\n Last week, the Romanian Parliament approved the deployment of non-kinetic (non-offensive) American troops and military equipment in Romania at the proposal of the Supreme Council of National Defense. Romanian president Nicu\u0219or Dan emphasized that this equipment is strictly defensive and will be deployed within the framework of the strategic partnership.\u00a0<\/p>\n radu@romania-insider.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n (Photo source:\u00a0Natanael Alfredo Nemanita Ginting<\/a>|Dreamstime.com<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Islamic government in Tehran warned Romania that providing bases to the US airforce amounts to participation in the attacks against it, according to a series of statements offered on Monday, March 16, by a spokesman of the\u00a0Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
