Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has warned foreign governments—and not for the first time—against providing naval, military or logistical support to the U.S.-Israeli war on the country. “No bilateral agreement or commitment with the United States can constitute legitimate grounds for violating a state’s obligations under international law or for participating in the U.S.-Israeli military aggression against Iran,” he said. “Any state that may participate in such unlawful aggressions, in whatever form, shall bear full responsibility for the resulting repercussions.”

He also warned that any direct or indirect involvement in acts of aggression or in inhumane economic terrorism against Iran—including the deployment of naval forces, military and logistical support equipment, and personnel—will be regarded as a hostile and unlawful act amounting to participation in the U.S. aggression against Iran. Such actions not only violate Article 2(4) of the Charter of the United Nations but also fall within the definition of an act of aggression set out in UN General Assembly Resolution 3314.
