Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei has reminded U.N. member states of their responsibility to deal with the Israeli aggression, warning that the two-sided statements justifying attacks on a country are nothing but hypocrisy.

In a weekly briefing on Monday, Baqaei called on countries to act if “they really believe in the principles enshrined in the U.N. Charter as well as the rule of law and collective security.”, reported IRNA.

He said that Iran will continue defending itself with all its might against “the aggression of the most evil occupying regime,” adding, “Today is the fourth day of our national defense.”

Explaining the Israeli crimes and assassination of figures in the fields of science and defense, as well as civilians, he said Iranian people were attacked with weapons, most of which were supplied by the United States, while asleep and the country was busy preparing for a major holiday.

The spokesperson underlined that the countries that, in some way, are trying to justify the Israeli aggression, are partners in the crimes and will remain in the memory of Iranians and the people of the region. “Impunity and support of the Western countries for the Zionist regime have put the global peace in a dangerous situation,” he said.
