Iran: US has ‘launched a dangerous war’ to support ‘genocidal and lawless Israeli regime’

Iran’s Foreign Ministry says that “the US has itself launched a dangerous war against Iran” after America attacked three nuclear sites in the Islamic Republic.

The ministry make the remarks in a long statement posted this morning.

“The world must not forget that it was the United States — during an ongoing diplomatic process — that betrayed diplomacy by supporting the aggressive actions of the genocidal and lawless Israeli regime,” the ministry says. “Now, by completing the chain of violations and crimes committed by the Zionist regime, the US has itself launched a dangerous war against Iran.”

It adds: “The Islamic Republic of Iran reserves its right to resist with full force against US military aggression and the crimes committed by this rogue regime, and to defend Iran’s security and national interests.”
