Iran urges int’l action against US-Israeli crimes, warns of repercussions 

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian has called on the international community to take action against US-Israeli crimes, warning that many countries may become subject to such atrocities.

Pezeshkian made the remarks in an X post on Friday, the 21st day of the illegal aggression by the United States and Israeli regime that has deliberately targeted Iran’s civilian infrastructure and energy facilities, killing hundreds of people.

“The nature of the Zionist regime is state terrorism. Yet US aggression against Iran and the assassination of the martyred Leader sets a new precedent in international disputes that will destroy global legal norms,” he said.

“If the world fails to stand firm, its flames will burn many,” he warned.

The US and Israel launched their unprovoked act of aggression against Iran on February 28 by assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, along with senior commanders and officials, in flagrant violation of the country’s sovereignty.

The Iranian Armed Forces began to swiftly retaliate against the terrorist military assault by launching barrages of missile and drone attacks on the Israeli-occupied territories as well as on US bases and assets in regional countries.

The Islamic Republic has been exercising its legitimate right to self-defense by carrying out retaliatory strikes against the enemies, which are based on the principle of "eye for an eye”.
