Oct 26, 2024, 08:33 AM

Iran's Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned recent Israeli airstrikes on Iranian military targets, asserting its right and duty to defend itself. The Ministry's spokesman criticized a New York Times report suggesting Tehran might not respond to a limited Israeli attack, labeling it as 'highly deceptive and absurd.' The spokesman emphasized that any Israeli aggression would be met with full force. This statement follows overnight attacks by Israel on targets in Iran, which the Iranian government views as foreign aggressive actions. In a statement on Saturday, the Ministry reiterated that Iran is entitled and obligated to defend against foreign aggressive actions, based on the inherent right of self-defense.
