Tehran: Iran’s foreign ministry has issued a statement slamming the US’ latest strikes on its nuclear facilities as a “gross and unprecedented violation” of international law and saying it has the right to resist such “aggression”, the ministry said in a statement carried by the semi-official Tasnim news agency.
“The world must not forget that it was the United States that, in the midst of a diplomatic process, betrayed diplomacy” by supporting Israel’s “aggressive action” and is now waging “a dangerous war against Iran.”
The ministry said it has become clear that the US “adheres to no rules or ethics, and in order to advance the aims of a genocidal and occupying regime, spares no lawlessness or crime”.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran considers it its right to stand with all its might against US military aggression and the crimes committed by this rogue regime, and to defend the security and national interests of Iran,” it added.
