The Iranian Foreign Ministry says the strikes conducted by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) against terrorists’ positions in Syria and an Israeli espionage center in Iraq were part of the “just punishment” against violators of Iran’s security after a deadly terrorist attack hit the city of Kerman.
“The taken action was in line with the powerful defense of the country’s sovereignty and security, and countering terrorism, and was a part of the Islamic Republic’s just punishment against violators of the country’s security,” ministry spokesman Nasser Kan’ani said on Tuesday.
While the Islamic Republic “has always supported peace, stability and security in the region” and has always been respecting other countries sovereignty, Kan’ani said, Tehran “will not hesitate to use its legitimate and legal right to deter sources of threats against its national security and to defend its citizens and punish the criminals.”
