Israel breaks laws to force ‘regime change’ in Iran
(MENAFN) Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova criticized Israel’s missile campaign against Iran, stating that Israel has no right to force “regime change” in Tehran. Speaking to RT’s Rick Sanchez on Wednesday, she argued that supporters of Israel overlook the legal and moral principles they usually uphold when backing the Jewish state.
Israel launched missile strikes on Iran last Friday, claiming Tehran was close to acquiring nuclear weapons—a claim Iran has consistently denied. In response, Iran fired missiles back, and the two countries have continued exchanging attacks.
Zakharova questioned the justification for the bombings, asking, “What has Iran done wrong? What is it being bombed for?” She pointed out that disliking Iran’s political regime does not grant Israel the right to attack the country. “If a regime does not attack you, you have no right to try to change it,” she said.
She emphasized that Iran’s nuclear program is an issue to be resolved through international law and diplomacy, not unilateral military action. Zakharova also expressed skepticism over Israel’s repeated claims of proof that Iran is on the brink of developing weapons of mass destruction, challenging why no evidence has been publicly presented.
Despite the questionable justification, Zakharova noted that Western nations continue to support Israel’s actions. She accused the West of ignoring human rights and the suffering of civilians amid the conflict.
Since hostilities began, Iranian authorities report that Israeli strikes have killed at least 224 people, including 74 women and children, and injured around 1,800. Israel says Iranian attacks have killed 24 civilians and wounded nearly 600.
