Iran's Foreign Ministry has issued a statement in response to what it describes as an 'aggressive act' by the Zionist regime against the Iranian embassy in Damascus. The ministry stated that Iran's armed forces were exercising their right to self-defense under Article 5 of the United Nations Charter.
The statement highlighted Iran's concerns over repeated military aggressions by the Zionist regime and the recent attack on Iran's consulate in Damascus. Iran emphasized that its actions were aimed at protecting its legitimate interests and maintaining regional and international peace and security.
While Israel has not confirmed its involvement in the attack on April 1, it denied Iran's claim that the targeted building was a consulate, asserting that it was a 'military building of Quds forces.'
Iran's Foreign Ministry concluded by warning that it would not hesitate to take further defensive measures if necessary to safeguard its interests against any aggressive military actions. The ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel underscore the complex geopolitical dynamics in the region.
