Pyongyang, March 1 (KCNA) -- A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK issued the following press statement on Sunday:

Israel's military attack on Iran, launched under the U.S. active support and patronage, and the military action of the U.S. which joined in it are an illegal act of aggression and the most despicable form of violation of sovereignty in their nature from A to Z.

It was fairly predictable that the prolonged U.S military threat to Iran in the region would lead to an actual military invasion and it is a sure logical result of the U.S. hegemonic and rogue nature.

The DPRK condemns in the strongest tone the shameless rogue act of the U.S. and Israel which put their domestic law before the recognized international law and do not hesitate to abuse military muscle in order to realize their selfish and hegemonic ambition.

The U.S. increased acts for hegemony witnessed by the international community this year are an example proving their destructive role destroying global peace and stability and its grave consequences.

The tyranny's high-handed and arbitrary practices free from powerful counteraction and adequate resistance make those countries directly related to the regional situation pay dear price and give rise to concern that they may have a negative effect, which can not be disregarded politically, economically and geopolitically, on the region which has no connection with the present Iranian situation.

The world history highlights again the fact that the U.S. destroyed peace in the Middle East for its hegemonic interests decades ago but met with the geopolitical failure and strategic setback after all.

The unjustifiable war of aggression by the U.S. and Israel can never be tolerated in any case.

The relevant and interested parties in the region would be well advised to correctly grasp the nature of the offenders who chose aggression and war under the pretext of fake peace, and to fulfill their due responsibility in switching the trend in the situation of the Middle East back to peace and stability. -0-
