TEHRAN, March 14 (Xinhua) -- The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Monday that Iran does not tolerate the presence of a "center of conspiracy" near its borders, official news agency IRNA reported.
Saeed Khatibzadeh made the remarks at a weekly press conference, referring to a retaliatory missile strike by Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) on an Israeli intelligence base in Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdish region's capital Erbil.
It is in no way acceptable that one of the neighboring states, which has deep relations and interactions with Iran, become a center for threats against the country, Khatibzadeh said.
Tehran has on several occasions called on the Iraqi government not to allow anti-Iran groups to use its soil for such activities, he added.
Iran expects the Iraqi government to terminate such situation once and for all and to prevent its borders from being utilized against Iran, the Foreign Ministry spokesman noted.
He warned Israel that Iran has complete intelligence dominance over every location of its presence.
Two Mossad training centers were targeted by ballistic missiles early on Sunday, Iraq's Sabereen News reported, citing security sources.
The IRGC announced in a statement on Sunday that the missile strike was in response to an Israeli airstrike on Syria's capital Damascus last week, which killed two IRGC officers.
The Iraqi foreign ministry has summoned the Iranian ambassador to Iraq to protest against the Iranian missile attack. ■
