Iran’s attack on Israel was ‘legitimate defense’: IEA
Following Iran’s attack on Israel in retaliation for the attack on its consulate in Syria, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) on Sunday called the act “legitimate defense.”
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a statement, said that Israel’s attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus on April 1 was against all diplomatic norms and international laws.
The ministry added that since October, Israel has continued to commit genocide and has killed more than 33,000 civilians in Gaza, and by violating the space of other countries and spreading insecurity, it has tried to divert the attention of the world from its crimes.
“The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan calls on all influential countries in the world and the region to accelerate their efforts to stop the crimes of the Zionist regime (Israel) in order to prevent the crisis from spreading further,” the statement said.
Late on Saturday, Iran launched hundreds of missiles and drones towards Israel in retaliation for the attack on its consulate in Syria.
