Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Ali Bagheri says the BRICS meeting in Russia condemned the Israeli regime’s attack on Iranian diplomatic facilities in Syria.
Bagheri, who traveled to Moscow to participate in a meeting of deputy foreign ministers and special representatives of countries in the Middle East and North Africa, added that the BRICS meeting described the Israelis as consistent with the aggressive character of the Zionists .
Bagheri noted: “We also emphasized in this meeting that responding to the violence of the Zionist regime in the Syrian capital of Damascus was a legal right of the Islamic Republic of Iran as a form of countermeasure.”
He stressed: “The Islamic Republic of Iran will respond seriously, quickly and very harshly to any violation of its territory, its interests or its citizens.”
Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs went on to say that Tehran’s response to Zionist violence and aggression demonstrated that the key to protecting regional stability is holding the aggressor accountable.
He said: “As long as the aggressor is rewarded or appeased for his aggression, we cannot expect stability in the region.”
