International condemnation of US aggression on sites in Syria and Iraq

Tehran,(ST)-Iranian Foreign Ministry confirmed that the American aggression against sites in Syria and Iraq at dawn today is part of American arrogance and its aim is to inflame tension in the region, calling on the new American administration to change its behavior, correct its mistakes, and stop its interventions in the region.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said in his weekly press conference today that he advises the new US administration to stop this aggressive behavior in the region and not to interfere in the internal affairs of its people.

Khatibzadeh stressed that the United States is still on the wrong path and continues with its arrogance, “and therefore, we ask it to stop its incorrect behavior and change its behavior , instead of creating a crisis and problems for the peoples of the region, because destabilizing the security of the region will not be in its interest.”

Regarding the talks on the nuclear agreement, whose sixth round recently ended, Khatibzadeh explained that these talks have reached a stage where all parties must take their decisions.

He said: We have made the decisions that we should make, and we are waiting for other governments, including America, to take their decisions.
