In the official statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran, which was published regarding the response to the aggressive action of the Zionist regime against the embassy of this country in Damascus, it is stated that the Islamic Republic of Iran’s recourse to defensive measures in exercising the right to legitimate defense shows Iran’s responsible approach towards peace and security in the region. It is international at a time when the illegal and genocidal actions by the occupying Zionist apartheid regime against the Palestinian nation and the repeated military aggression of this regime against the neighboring states and arson continue in the region and beyond.
The Islamic Republic of Iran, if necessary adopting more defensive measures in order to protect our legitimate interests against any aggressive military actions and illegal use of force will leave no room for doubt.
