Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson reiterated on Monday that the recent attack on Israel was a 'legitimate' and 'responsible' reaction. The spokesperson stated that military action was considered as a last resort after exhausting all diplomatic channels.
The spokesperson emphasized that Iran's intention is not to escalate tensions in the region but to take proportionate action to defend itself. The strikes over the weekend were described as a response to the bombing of an Iranian diplomatic building in Damascus on April 1.
This marked the first time that Iran had launched a direct assault on Israel from its soil, further heightening tensions in the already volatile Middle East region.
