Iran summons Ukraine’s envoy over ‘unjustifiable’ comments in support of Israeli war

Tehran - BORNA - The envoy was summoned on Monday by Shahram Farsaei, head of the First Eurasian Department at Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"By supporting the Zionist regime’s military aggression, Ukrainian officials have in fact ignored Ukraine's international legal obligations regarding respect for the principles and objectives of the United Nations Charter and the four Geneva Conventions,” Farsaei said.

He added that the officials in Kiev “endorsed the heinous crimes committed by the apartheid Israeli regime and this issue leads to international responsibility for the Ukrainian government."

The Ukrainian chargé d’affaires was also warned about the consequences of his respective country’s repeated “hostile and provocative” remarks against Iran.

Israel launched an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran on June 13, assassinating senior military commanders and top nuclear scientists in targeted strikes before attacking nuclear and military sites and residential areas.

The Iranian Armed Forces responded with missile strikes as part of Operation True Promise III, which targeted many strategic sites across the Israeli-occupied territories.

On June 22, the United States joined the Israeli regime in the assault and bombed three Iranian nuclear sites in a grave violation of the United Nations Charter, international law, and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

A day later, Iran launched a wave of missiles at al-Udeid air base in Qatar—the largest American military base in West Asia—in retaliation for the aggression.

As the Iranian Armed Forces pounded Israel and its military and industrial infrastructure, using many new-generation missiles that precisely hit the designated targets, the embattled regime was forced to unilaterally declare a truce deal on June 24.
