Iran’s mission to the United Nations issued a statement regarding the attack targeting Israel.
Iran deployed more than 100 drones loaded with missiles towards Eretz-Israel on Saturday.
In defense of the attack, Iran’s mission asserted that it was retaliation for the Tel Aviv’s alleged aggression against its diplomatic facilities in Syria.
“Iran’s military action was in response to the Zionist regime’s aggression against our diplomatic premises in Damascus,” Iran’s mission to the UN has said in a post on X.
“The matter can be deemed concluded. However, should the Zionist regime make another mistake, Iran’s response will be considerably more severe.

The post goes on to say that the conflict is between Iran and Israel, and the US “must stay away.
“It is a conflict between Iran and the rogue Israeli regime, from which the U.S. MUST STAY AWAY,” it added.
It pointed to Article 51 of the UN Charter pertaining to legitimate defence.
