The Iranian Foreign Ministry condemned the overnight US air strikes on Syria and Iraq as a violation of the two Arab states’ sovereignty and of the UN Charter.
In a statement on Saturday, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nasser Kanaani said the US has brazenly violated the United Nations Charter, international law, and the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iraq and Syria by attacking the two countries.
Syria condemned on Saturday the US new attack on the eastern region Saturday dawn, saying it categorically rejects all lies promoted by the US administration to justify this attack.
“It is not surprising that the American attack targets the eastern region of Syria, where our Syrian forces are fighting against the remnants of Daesh terrorist organization, while the United States is working to revive ISIS terrorist activity,” Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said in a statement Saturday.
The statement added that today’s attack on Syrian territory adds to the US record of violations against Syria’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the safety of its people, proving once again that it is the main source of global instability and that its military forces threaten international peace and security and ignites conflict in the region.
“The Syrian Arab Republic expresses its deep concern over the state of paralysis of the UN Security council as the US hinders its ability to assume it responsibilities in halting such dangerous violations,” the statement added.
