Israel War: ‘You must stay away’ – Iran issues stern warning to US

 Iran’s mission to the United Nations has said the country’s
missiles and drones fired toward Israel were justified, warning the United
States to “stay away.”

“It is a conflict between Iran and the rogue Israeli regime,
from which the U.S. MUST STAY AWAY!,” Iran’s mission to the United Nations said
in a statement, according to Fox News.

Iran’s warning came after U.S. officials confirmed to Fox
News that the United States military is continuing to shoot down Iranian drones
that are headed toward Israel.

“U.S. forces in the region continue to shoot down
Iranian-launched drones targeting Israel. Our forces remain postured to provide
additional defensive support and to protect U.S. forces operating in the
region,” a U.S. military official said.

According to Iran’s mission to the United Nations, the
attacks were justified by Article 51 of the UN Charter, which recognizes a
member of the United Nations’ right to self-defence if attacked by another
nation.

Iran said that the missiles and drones were launched in a
retaliatory attack to an Israeli airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Syria
which killed several generals.

“Iran’s military action was in response to the Zionist
regime’s aggression against our diplomatic premises in Damascus,” the statement
said.

Israel has not taken responsibility for the attack on Iran’s
consulate in Damascus.

Iran said that the retaliatory attack could be deemed
concluded. However, should the Israeli regime make another mistake, its
response will be considerably more severe.
