Iran doubled down on its right to self-defense Saturday after Israeli air strikes targeted its military sites, killing two soldiers. The country's Foreign Ministry slammed the attacks as a \"blatant violation\" of international law, sparking fresh fears of spiraling tensions in the Middle East. 💥
\"The regime’s aggression will not go unanswered,\" the ministry declared, accusing Israel of acting with \"unwavering U.S. and Western support.\" It emphasized Iran’s role in maintaining regional stability but warned: \"We’re ready to protect our sovereignty.\" 🔥
Tehran also pointed to Israel’s \"occupation and crimes\" as the main cause of Middle East unrest, framing the strike as part of a broader pattern. With both sides trading accusations, analysts worry this could escalate into a wider conflict. 🌍⚔️
Meanwhile, global leaders are urging restraint. Will diplomacy prevail, or is the region heading toward a new crisis? Stay tuned. 📢
