The official warned that Europe’s defensive measures could lead to attacks on European cities and countries.
"It would be an act of war. Any such act against Iran would be regarded as complicity with the aggressors," he added.
He complained that Iran is being deprived "of its capability and capacity to fight back against aggressors."
"That would be a shame if these countries take sides with the aggressors, they have already done enough against Iran," said the Iranian Foreign Ministry representative.
