According to the foreign policy group of Fars News Agency, the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran today (Saturday) reacted to the US military attacks on areas in Iraq and Syria and strongly condemned these attacks. .

Following the killing of three American soldiers at the country’s base in Jordan, American fighters bombed 85 positions in the territory of Iraq and Syria in the late hours of Friday, February 13, 2018. According to the announcement of the Iraqi government, in these attacks, the areas of “Akashat” and “Al-Qaim” in the west of Iraq and several civilian points in the vicinity of these areas have been targeted by American fighters.

In this regard, Nasser Kanani called these attacks a violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iraq and Syria, international law and a clear violation of the United Nations Charter and added: In addition to the full support of the United States for four months of relentless and brutal attacks by the Zionist regime against the residents of Gaza and the West Bank, as well as military attacks Due to Yemen and the violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of this country, last night’s attack on Syria and Iraq is an adventurous action and another strategic mistake by the US government, which will have no result other than the escalation of tension and instability in the region.

America, together with England, had attacked Yemen several times before.

The Central Command of the US Army (CENTCOM) announced in a statement on Saturday morning that in response After the death of 3 soldiers of this country in the attack on the “Burj-22” base on the border of Syria and Jordan, it has carried out attacks on the positions of “groups supported by Iran” in Iraq and Syria.

This senior Iranian diplomat said: The Islamic Republic of Iran has repeatedly stated that the root of the tension and crisis in the region is the occupation of the Israeli regime and the continuation of this regime’s military operations in Gaza and the genocide of the Palestinians with the unlimited support of the United States, and the return of stability and security in the region is only in the shadow of focusing on the root of the crisis and its solution. It is not conceivable.

According to the announcement of the Iraqi government, 16 Iraqis were martyred in the attacks on Friday night.
