A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea gave the following answer to a question raised by KCNA on June 23 as regards the US’ military attack against Iran's nuclear facilities:

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea strongly denounces the attack on Iran by the US which flagrantly violated the UN Charter with respect for sovereignty and noninterference in internal affairs as the basic principle and other international laws and regulations and violently trampled on the territorial integrity and security interests of a sovereign state.

Opposing the threat and exercise of the force blocking the territorial integrity and political independence of a country in international relations is the purpose, principle and fundamental spirit of the UN Charter reflecting the general will of the international community.

The present situation of the Middle East, which is wholly shaking the basis of international peace and security, is an inevitable product brought by the bravado of Israel which has promoted its unilateral interests through ceaseless war moves and territorial expansion and by the Western-style free order that has tolerated and encouraged the swagger.

Israel’s and the US’ acts of further aggravating the tension in the Middle East and causing serious negative consequences to the global security structure by dint of physical strength under the pretext of the so-called "peacekeeping" and "threat removal" are amplifying serious concern.

The just international community should raise the voice of unanimous censure and rejection against the US’ and Israel's confrontational acts.
