   Iranian Foreign Ministry: Iran will not hesitate to defend national security and interests

According to CCTV news, on April 18 local time, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Karnani made a statement on anti Iran statements made by some American and Western countries.

Kanani said that some advocates and advocates of international rights and standards have taken a passive and encouraging stance against Israel's attack on Iran's diplomatic agency in Syria. In fact, the attack on Iran's diplomatic institutions seriously violated the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations and international conventions. Subsequently, these countries condemned Iran's lawful, appropriate and deterrent actions.

Kanani said that Israel has ruled the occupied Palestinian territory for decades and deprived the oppressed Palestinian people of their basic rights. There is no doubt that the United States and Europe turn a blind eye to this obvious fact, and baseless accusations against other countries cannot solve regional and international security problems. If the EU and the members of the Group of Seven really seek lasting stability and peace in West Asia and the Red Sea, they should not blame others, but should oppose Israel's policy of aggression and killing.

   Kanani stressed that the Iranian government and armed forces will not hesitate to defend Iran's national security and interests while continuing to abide by international laws and regulations and maintain regional and world peace and security

Iran's nuclear facilities are scattered in several regions of Iran's territory, but a defense plan has been developed to make relevant defense preparations with advanced equipment to deal with any threat from Israel.

The commander said that if Israel takes action against Iran's nuclear facilities, it is bound to face Iran's response.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a statement in the early morning of the 14th that it fired dozens of missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles at Israeli targets, in response to Israel's attack on the Iranian embassy in Syria on April 1 and other acts. The Israeli Prime Minister's Office said on the 17th that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said on the same day that Israel's attack on Iran "reserves the right to self-defence".
