Speaking to ANI on the rising tensions between Iran and Israel, Farid Faridasr said, 'One thing is very clear and evident for the international community that they (Israel) have invaded our country and they have attacked on our civilians as well as the army members and we have just responded.

Speaking about the nuclear issue, Counsellor Faridasr said, 'We always cleared our position that we've never been looking for the nuclear weapons and it is just a stunt by the enemy countries. The most visits by IAEA, we had in our country, Chiefs have visited Iran a number of times and a number of times we have cleared that Iran was never looking for the weapons and we were just using it for our energy in our country'. On the issue of the safety of people, he told ANI, 'The security of our civilians is a top priority. Iran's top priority is that they want to make sure the security for Iranian nations as well as the foreigners living in Iran... Till now, whatever we received, through official channels, the news is there that there's no casualty or harm for any foreign nationals in Iran.' On the evacuation of Indians from Iran, he said, 'The embassies of both countries are in touch and they are trying best to do so and whenever it will be possible of reopening the airspace, they will do it.'
