Iran says it never starts war but won’t allow military aggression 

Iran’s acting Defence Minister Seyed Majid Ebn al-Reza says the country’s armed forces have never started a war but will not allow military aggression against Iran’s independence or security, Al Jazeera reported. Speaking before Friday prayers at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini Mosalla, Ebn al-Reza said Iran entered what Iran calls the “Ramadan War” significantly stronger than it had entered the earlier 12-day conflict, according to state broadcaster IRIB.
