Iran (IMNA) - In a post on his X account on Monday, Baghaei accused the EU of applying double standards by criticizing Iran while ignoring what he described as the unlawful US-Israeli war of aggression against the Iranian people.
“The EU’s statement blaming Iran for exercising its right to self-defense against US aggression launched from bases in neighboring countries is a masterclass in selective moral outrage; it is hypocritical and reckless,” the spokesman said.
Baghaei urged the EU to remain committed to the rule of law and the principles of the United Nations Charter.
“The EU must remain faithful to the rule of law and the principles of the UN Charter that it has long claimed to uphold. It must stop appeasing aggressors while blaming those who respond to unlawful attacks,” he added.
The Iranian spokesman reiterated that Tehran’s military actions were carried out within the framework of international law.
“Iran’s strikes against those bases and assets that are used to launch unlawful attacks against Iran are a lawful exercise of self-defense,” Baghaei said.
He further stressed that countries have legal responsibilities under international law, stating that “states have an established legal obligation not to allow their territory or assets to be used for invading other countries.”
