North Korea has condemned the attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran, describing them as an 'illegal act of aggression' and a violation of a sovereign nation's rights. The statement was issued by a spokesperson for North Korea’s Foreign Ministry and reported by the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), citing Al Jazeera.

According to the KCNA report, the spokesperson said that US involvement in the attacks was 'within expectations' and reflected what was described as the United States’ 'hegemonic and gangster-like' nature. The statement further asserted that the aggressive war initiated by the US and Israel was unacceptable under any circumstances.

North Korea called on all parties to respect international law and the United Nations Charter, urging them to refrain from actions that could escalate regional tensions, according to the KCNA report.
