US strikes on ‘clear aggression’ against sovereignty, deputy FM says
Iran’s deputy foreign minister said on Thursday that new US strikes on Iran were another act of “clear aggression against sovereignty, territorial integrity, political independence and national security” of the country.
Kazem Gharibabadi rejected description of the attacks as self-defense, saying it had no legal effect and that military aggression could not be legitimized by wording.
He said Iran’s armed forces would defend the country and that the consequences of what he called illegal and dangerous actions would fall on the United States and any party involved in or assisting them.
