North Korea has strongly criticized recent military actions by Israel and the United States against Iran, with a foreign ministry representative condemning the operations as unlawful acts of aggression that violate Iran’s national sovereignty, according to a Sunday report from the Korean Central News Agency.<\/p>

The North Korean spokesperson characterized the U.S. military action against Iran as being “within the range of expectations,” describing it as a predictable result of what they termed America’s “hegemonic and gangster-like” behavior.<\/p>

According to the statement, any “war of aggression” conducted by the United States and Israel cannot be justified under any conditions.<\/p>

The North Korean official also called on Middle Eastern nations and other countries with common interests to step up and take action to restore peace and stability throughout the region.<\/p>

These condemnations follow Israel’s announcement Sunday that its forces had conducted extensive strikes in central Tehran. The Israeli military reported carrying out a major operation that resulted in the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, sparking concerns about potential widespread unrest across the Middle East.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
