Last Saturday, Iran launched a wave of missiles and drones against Israel that set off alarm bells in a large part of the international community and unleashed fear that the situation would escalate.
Iran has insisted this Monday that he is not seeking to increase tension in middle East and has assured that the attack against Israel was “necessary, proportional and directed at military objectives” to create “deterrence capacity.” “Iran does not seek to increase tension in the region,” said Foreign Ministry spokesman Naser Kananí at a press conference in Tehran.
The diplomat has indicated that Tehran will act “stronger than ever to deter and punish the aggressor for any illegal and irrational action,” although his country adheres to the principles of United Nations Charter and international law. In the appearance, he once again regretted the lack of measures by the UN Security Council and the United States, the United Kingdom and France in the face of the attack against the Iranian consulate in Damascus on April 1.
Faced with possible reactions from Western countries and calls for the imposition of new sanctions against Iran, Kananí has stated that they should “appreciate the moderation” of Tehran. “These countries instead of taking illogical action should appreciate Iran’s restraint in recent months and Iran’s responsible behavior towards security and peace,” she added.
After the attack with missiles and drones against Israel, Iran has launched a diplomatic offensive with conversations with at least nine countries to which it has conveyed that Tehran’s objective was a deterrent and that they will respond to new Israeli aggressions.
