Iran declared that Israel’s strikes against its homeland is a blatant declaration of war, adding that the U.S. is also to blame for approving of this attack.

“Consequently, the U.S. government, as the primary patron of this regime, will also bear responsibility for the dangerous repercussions of the Zionist regime’s reckless actions,” said Friday Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian Foreign Ministry.

According to Fox News, Tehran rapidly replaced the Iranian military leaders who perished during Israel’s strikes against its nuclear facilities.

Among those dead in the strikes were Hossein Salami, Iran’s Commander in Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, the country’s chief of staff of the armed forces. According to Fox News, the Jerusalem Post reported that Ahmad Vahidi will temporarily replace Salami, while Habibollah Sayyari will take Bagheri’s place.

Fox News wrote: “Vahidi previously held the roles of Iran’s defense minister and interior minister and once led the IRGC’s elite Quds Force (QF) from 1988 to 1998, the Jerusalem Post added. It noted that during his time with the IRGC-QF, Vahidi was linked to the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which left 85 dead. 

Israel’s strikes against Iran “constitute a violation of Article 2(4) of the U.N. Charter and a blatant act of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran, said Iran’s Foreign Ministry.  

“In accordance with Article 51 of the U.N. Charter, Iran reserves the legitimate and legal right to respond to this aggression. The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will not hesitate to defend Iran’s sovereignty with full strength and in the manner they deem appropriate,” it continued.
