The deployment of Patriot missiles along Turkey-Syria border is "provocative", Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast said in his weekly press conference in Tehran on Tuesday.
He referred to the black records of the West and NATO's deployment in the region, and said, "The regional officials should act vigilantly and prudently and try to establish stability and security in the region."
On December 4, NATO approved Turkey's request for the deployment of Patriot surface-to-air missiles along its border with Syria.
Meantime, people in Turkey took to the streets and hold massive rallies across the country during the past few weeks to show anger at the possible deployment of NATO's Patriot missiles along their country's border with Syria.
The protesters, who carried placards in condemnation of the Turkish government's demand for the deployment of the NATO Patriot missile systems, set the US and NATO's flags ablaze.
