Iran has called on Middle Eastern countries to refrain from supporting US attacks, vowing not to retaliate against them, Mohammad Mehdi Tabatabaei, Deputy Chief of Staff for Public Relations informed. 

"The Iranian President's message is crystal clear: if regional countries do not cooperate with Washington when the US attacks us, then we will not attack them either.
