Iran says it is exercising right to self-defense

Mar 8, 2026, 07:28 GMT+0

Iran said it is exercising its right to self-defense after what it described as an “unlawful US-Israeli war of aggression.”

Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said the attacks had “torpedoed diplomatic efforts” and “shattered the very foundations of international law.”

“Silence and indifference in the face of such flagrant violations and atrocities will only further erode the credibility of the global legal order and embolden future aggressors,” he wrote on X.
