statement, talk

A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK issued the following press statement on March 1:

Israel's military attack on Iran, launched under the US’ active support and patronage and protection, and the military action of the US which joined in it are a totally illegal act of aggression and the most despicable form of violation of sovereignty in terms of character.

It was fairly predictable that the prolonged US military threat to Iran in the region would lead to an actual military invasion and it is a sure logical result of the US’ hegemonic and rogue nature.

The DPRK condemns in the strongest tone the shameless rogue act of the US and Israel which put their domestic laws before the recognized international law and do not hesitate to abuse military muscle in order to realize their selfish and hegemonic ambition.

The US’ increased acts for hegemony witnessed by the international community this year are an example proving their destructive role wrecking global peace and stability and its grave consequences.

The tyranny's high-handed and arbitrary practices, which are not countered by powerful counteraction and adequate resistance, are compelling those countries directly related to the regional situation to pay dear price and arousing concern that they may have a negative impact, which cannot be disregarded politically, economically and geopolitically, on the region which has no connection with the present Iranian situation.

The world is highlighting again the past history when the US destroyed peace in the Middle East for its hegemonic interests decades ago but met with the geopolitical failure and strategic setback after all.

The unjustifiable war of aggression by the US and Israel can never be tolerated in any case.

The relevant and interested parties in the region would be well advised to correctly grasp the nature of the offenders who chose aggression and war under the pretext of fake peace, and to fulfil their due responsibility in switching the trend in the situation of the Middle East back to peace and stability.
