FM Affirms Iran’s Right to Respond to Israel
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi reasserted Tehran’s entitlement to retaliatory response to the Israeli regime’s recent act of aggression that took the lives of four Iranian servicemen.
“We strongly condemn the criminal attack on Iranian military centers as a violation of international law and the UN Charter,” Araqchi said in a post on his X account on Saturday.
“Four of our Army heroes sacrificed their lives in defeating this reckless and cowardly assault,” the foreign minister noted.
“We fully reserve our right to duly respond to this aggression, which cannot be separated from Israel's genocide in Gaza and bloodshed in Lebanon. The world must unite against this common threat to international peace & security,” he added.
The Iranian Army said on Saturday that four of its combatants have been martyred during confrontation with the projectiles fired by the criminal Zionist regime.
The Iranian Air Defense issued a statement on Saturday, saying that the criminal, illegitimate and fake regime of Israel in a move to escalate tensions launched attacks on some military sites in the provinces of Tehran, Khuzestan and Ilam in the early hours of October 26.
Iran’s air defenses intercepted and successfully confronted the acts of aggression, it said, adding that some limited damage was caused in some areas, the dimensions of which are being investigated.
