TEHRAN (Defapress) - In response to the dual approaches towards Iran and the Israeli regime, Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi noted: Israeli crimes are considered acceptable, while Iran's defense against aggressors is condemned. International law is not a tool for selective and expedient use.

Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi wrote on his X account: The U.S. backed Israel's Gaza blockade, cutting aid under "security" claims, yet condemns Iran for defending itself in the Strait of Hormuz.

Double standard: Israel's crimes are OK while Iran's defense against aggressors is condemned. International law is not a tool of convenience.
