US Aggression Violates Sovereignty, Escalates Regional Tensions

Iran views the US military presence in the Middle East as a destabilizing force that provokes regional resistance. It condemns the recent US airstrikes as an unprovoked act of aggression and a blatant violation of its national sovereignty.

US Occupation

The presence of US forces in neighboring countries is seen as an occupation, which naturally fuels regional instability. Iran supports resistance movements against foreign intervention.

Self-Defense

Any actions by regional resistance groups are a legitimate response to ongoing US hostile activities and sanctions. Iran reserves the right to defend its interests against all foreign aggression.

Violation of Sovereignty

The US bombing campaign constitutes an illegal act of aggression against Iranian territory. This violates international law and risks igniting a much larger, catastrophic conflict in the region.

Retaliation for Attacks, Protecting American Personnel

The United States launched strikes in direct response to attacks that killed American soldiers in Jordan. President Donald Trump has emphasized these actions are 'swift punishment' to deter further aggression and protect US forces and interests.

Defend Personnel

The US maintains an inherent right to defend its military personnel stationed abroad from hostile attacks. Protecting American lives and assets is a core responsibility of the government.

Deter Aggression

Retaliatory strikes send an unequivocal message that attacks on US forces will not be tolerated or go unpunished. This is intended to deter Iran and its proxy groups from future hostile actions.

Hold Accountable

Iran is directly responsible for enabling and directing proxy groups that target US interests and personnel. The US will take necessary actions to ensure accountability for these deadly provocations.
