Senior Iranian diplomat Nasser Kan'ani made the remarks while speaking at his weekly press conference on Monday morning.

Regarding Iran's recent operations against the Zionist regime, Nasser Kan'ani stated that we can not still estimate the diplomatic positions of the US.

Saying that the Islamic Republic of Iran is a security-generating power, Kan'ani stressed that the country's action in attacking the military headquarters of the Zionist regime was carried out in line with the exercise of the substantive right of legitimate defense under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, considering the Israeli regime's recent aggression against Iran's diplomatic building in Damascus.

He noted that the Iranian diplomatic apparatus and the country's armed forces acted completely professionally in the recent event and gave a legitimate response to the aggressive act of the Zionist regime.

Iran had issued the necessary warnings before the military action, he added.
