Quote
“Our message has been clear to the Iranians, to the Israelis that we will not be a battleground for anybody
We will not allow anybody, to the extent that we can, to violate our airspace Our first responsibility is towards our people, protecting the sovereignty of our country and the safety of our people.
So our position is that nobody should use our airspace, nobody should subject our people to the threat of any projectile falling over any of our territory and harming our people and that is a position that we’ve communicated to both the Iranians and the Israelis in very unequivocal terms”
