Iran today formally condemned airstrikes conducted by the United States and Saudi Arabia against targets on Iraqi soil. In a statement from the Foreign Ministry, Tehran asserted that these actions constitute a flagrant violation of Iraq's sovereignty and territorial integrity, further escalating tensions in an already volatile region.
According to Iranian media reports, the airstrikes were purportedly aimed at Iran-linked armed groups in Iraq, but Tehran dismissed such claims as a pretext for military intervention. Iran called on the international community to condemn the military operations by the United States and its allies, urging all parties to respect international law and the sovereignty of nations.
Amid ongoing instability across the Middle East, Iran's statement stressed that such attacks only heighten the risk of a wider conflict. Tehran reaffirmed its right to self-defense, as well as that of Iraq, against provocative actions.
