伊朗外长阿巴斯·阿拉格齐在接受半岛电视台采访时表示，这场战争不是由伊朗挑起的，伊朗只是在进行自卫。在自卫过程中，伊朗仅打击了美国目标，而这些目标不幸位于相关国家境内。对于美国在该地区的军事基地，伊朗不会有所顾忌，必定会将其列为打击目标。其他美国目标也一样。该地区还有一些目标虽然不在军事基地内，但完全属于美国，归美国所有。在我看来，地区国家最好采取措施，防止新一轮战争爆发，因为如果新一轮战争开始，不幸的是，整个地区都将承受其后果。

On Nov. 1 local time, Ukraine’s Ministry of Energy reported Russian strikes on energy infrastructure caused partial power outages in eight oblasts. Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts were hit worst, with significant damage to energy facilities and major disruption to power-system operations; the supply situation is extremely severe.
