The Iranian Foreign Ministry has publicly denounced the European Union (EU) for its criticism of Iran's military strikes against foreign bases, which Iran claims were necessary for self-defense against US aggression. Spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei described the EU's reaction as 'hypocritical' and 'reckless,' asserting that Iran's actions are a lawful exercise of its right to defend itself. He emphasized that the EU's condemnation fails to acknowledge the principle of self-defense as outlined in international law. This criticism follows an EU statement condemning Iran's strikes on Kuwait, which the bloc views as a violation of Kuwaiti sovereignty and a threat to regional stability. The EU reiterated its solidarity with Kuwait and called for adherence to international law, urging compliance with UN Security Council Resolution 2817, which demands that Iran cease its attacks. The escalating tensions highlight the complex dynamics in the region, particularly involving Iran, the US, and their respective allies.
