Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanani said on Monday that Iran “does not seek to escalate tensions in the region” and that its attack on Israel was a “legitimate response” to Israel’s alleged strike on the Iranian consulate in Syria.
“Iran’s action was completely legitimate and in accordance with the United Nations Charter” granting states the right to self-defense, Kanani said. He added that the United States and the international community at large should “appreciate” Iran’s “responsible behavior.”
