"Iranian officials described the country’s posture as defensive during the 12-day war that broke out after it was unilaterally attacked by Israeli and US warplanes this past June. In the next war, it will go on the offensive, particularly against the countries it now sees as a launchpad for drones and surveillance flights: Azerbaijan on its northern border and the UAE just across the Gulf," reports Middle East Eye, a London-based news website.

"When Israel starts the next round of this war, Iran will respond. But the next time we are attacked, it will spill over into the Gulf and the region. The United Arab Emirates and Azerbaijan, who are betraying the region, will pay a huge price," the website quotes a senior source familiar with Iranian thinking.
