News - Middle East: Iran has strongly condemned the fresh Israeli airstrike on targets in the Damascus area, lamenting the international community’s failure to adopt appropriate and deterrent measures against the Tel Aviv regime’s acts of aggression on Syria, which target civilian airports and even residential neighborhoods.

“Such an approach has emboldened the regime to continue violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of an independent country and a member of the United Nations, and to persist in committing crimes against its citizens and military forces,” Spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry Nasser Kan’ani said in a statement on Friday.

He described the latest Israeli airstrike on Syria as a blatant and repeated violation of the international law and principles, a projective move by the regime to divert attention from internal crises and deep divisions within its society, as well as a testament to Israel’s dissatisfaction with growing stability in Syria and recent rapprochement between the war-torn Arab country and world countries.
