Today, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani stated that US airstrikes on Iraq and Syria are aimed at fulfilling "Israel's" goals only, as the continuation of such actions threatens peace and security at both regional and international levels.
 
The United States alleged in the early morning hours of Saturday that it had hit over 85 targets linked to the IRGC and its affiliated forces in Iraq and Syria responding to the recent attack on a US military base in Jordan. 
 
In the ministry's statement on Telegram, Kanaani stressed that "US military strikes against Iraq, Syria, and Yemen only ensure the achievement of the Israeli regime's goals," adding that "such attacks involve the US government in the regional [conflict] more than earlier and overshadow the crimes of the Israeli regime in the Gaza Strip."

He further emphasized, "The continuation of such incidents poses a threat to peace and security at the regional and international level."
 
He further highlighted the responsibility of the international community and the UN Security Council for preventing "illegal and unilateral US strikes on the region and the escalation of the crisis," according to the statement.
