A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea issued the following press statement titled "The aggressive forces who brought a new war to the Middle East can never evade the responsibility for destroying international peace" on June 19:
The illegal act of state-sponsored terrorism by Israel which launched an indiscriminate large-scale military attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran at the dawn of June 13 is sparking off strong denunciation and concern of the international community, raising the danger of a new all-out war in the Middle East.
Israel's daily-escalating reckless military attack on civilians in flagrant breach of international law and the basic principle of the UN Charter is a hideous act of aggression wantonly violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a sovereign state and an unpardonable crime against humanity.
The DPRK expresses serious concern over Israel's military attack and resolutely denounces it.
The present grave situation witnessed by the world clearly proves that Israel, supported and patronized by the US and the West, is a cancer-like entity for peace in the Middle East and the chief culprit in destroying global peace and security.
Israel has steadily expanded its territory through four Middle East wars and tens of military invasions in the past. In recent years alone, it has escalated military attacks on the Gaza Strip of Palestine, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and other regional countries step by step, thus massacring tens of thousands of civilians and creating a serious humanitarian crisis.
The international community is strictly watching the US and Western forces fanning up the flames of war, taking issue with the legitimate sovereign right and exercise of the right to self-defence of Iran, the victim, far from condemning Israel for getting frantic with the territorial expansion, pushing the situation in the Middle East to an uncontrollable catastrophic phase.
The Zionists who brought a new war to the Middle East and the behind-the-scenes forces who zealously patronize and support them will be held totally accountable for destroying international peace and security.
