Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister: America's new campaigns against targets on Iranian soil are yet another document of overt aggression against the sovereignty, territorial integrity, political independence, and national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran, as well as a widespread and utter nullification of the ceasefire. Describing these attacks as "self-defense," as stated in the statement of CENTCOM, has no legal effect. In international law, the aggressor does not evade the consequences of its actions by changing the title, and military aggression does not become legitimate through wordplay.
