Brigadier General�Abolfazl Shekarchi made the remarks on Friday, noting that a number of shells have hit the Iranian territory following the military conflicts between Azerbaijan Republic and Armenia.

�The Islamic Republic of Iran, while strengthening the defensive measures at border areas, emphasizes that the security of border area and Iranian people is the country�s red line,� he added.

He further called on Armenia and Azerbaijan to resolve their issues through political settlement, be aware of foreign interference, and not to violate Iran�s territorial integrity.

Stating that Iran's good neighborliness and patience with the two countries should not be abused,�Shekarchi warned both sides that any aggression against Iranian territory will be responded strongly.

Azerbaijan and Armenia have resumed military war over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region almost three weeks ago. Stray fires have hit the Iranian border areas in the period and Tehran has seriously warned both parties to control their fire.
