Iran: US Liable for Israeli Aggression as Top Backer

 

TEHRAN – Iran asserts its right to retaliate against Israel following deadly attacks in Tehran early Friday that killed top military officials and nuclear scientists. Tehran holds the United States equally responsible as Israel's "primary supporter."

    Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned the strikes as a "clear act of aggression," stating they violated Iran's sovereignty and Article 2(4) of the UN Charter. It invoked Article 51, affirming Iran's right to an "appropriate" response.

    Crucially, the Ministry declared Washington, as Israel's "primary supporter," responsible for the "dangerous consequences" of Israeli "adventurism." This directly links US backing to the attack's fallout.

    While US officials acknowledged awareness of Israeli plans, they denied direct involvement. Iranian officials and analysts dismiss these claims as false. The incident sharply escalates regional tensions, with Iran signaling imminent retaliation and assigning blame to both Israel and its key ally.
