Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Bandar Seri Begawan strongly condemns the criminal and unprovoked military aggression carried out by the Zionist regime in the early hours of today, which targeted residential areas in Tehran and other cities, leading to the martyrdom of a number of patriotic defenders of Iran and innocent civilians. This act constitutes a clear violation of Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a blatant breach of Article 2(4) of the United Nations Charter. Iran reserves its inherent right of self-defense under Article 51 of the Charter and will respond decisively at the time and manner of its choosing.
