Baku, Azerbaijan, April 15
By Khalid Kazimov – Trend:
In a telephone conversation with his British counterpart Boris Johnson on Sunday, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif criticized the recent US-led attack on Syria in which the UK participated.
“No country has the right to arbitrarily carry out punitive measures against other countries without observing international regulations,” Tasnim news agency quoted him as saying.
The US, UK and France struck multiple government targets in Syria in an early morning operation targeting alleged chemical weapons sites.
The strikes, which hit the capital Damascus as well as two locations near the city of Homs, came following a suspected chemical attack on the Syrian town of Douma last week.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has termed the recent air strikes conducted by the Westerners on Syria as a “crime”.
