Iran’s Firm Response to West’s Pleas of ‘Restraint’

TEHRAN -- Iran’s foreign
minister has told his German counterpart that “legitimate defense with the aim of punishing the aggressor is a necessity” after Israel’s April 1 airstrike on the Iranian consular section in Damascus.

Hussein Amir-Abdollahian and Annalena Baerbock held phone talks on Thursday, during which the top Iranian diplomat also criticized Germany for its “neutrality” on the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip.

Iran has pledged retaliation for the Israeli airstrike that martyred seven Iranian military advisors at its diplomatic annex in the Syrian capital.

“When the Israeli regime completely violates the immunity of individuals and diplomatic places in violation of international law and the Vienna Conventions, legitimate defense is a necessity,” Amir-Abdollahian said, according to a statement issued by the foreign ministry in Tehran.

It said the two ministers discussed the latest developments in the region and bilateral relations, emphasizing the necessity to maintain the path of dialogue.
