Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) – The Iranian Foreign Ministry issued a statement on the 27th local time, strongly condemning the Australian government's designation of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a "supporter of terrorism," and emphasizing that "this political move by the Australian government sets a dangerous precedent."
The Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) quoted the Iranian Foreign Ministry's statement as saying that Australia's move was influenced by Israel and aimed to divert public attention from the "genocide" in the Gaza Strip. The statement called the move "illegal, unreasonable, and contrary to international law and norms."
The statement pointed out that the Australian government believes the baseless accusations fabricated by Israeli security agencies, including alleged Iranian involvement in attacks on Jewish targets in Australia. Australia's irresponsible actions have turned Australian-Iranian diplomatic relations into "a bargaining chip to pay homage to the Israeli regime occupying (other country's territory)."
The statement stressed that Iran is determined to take all necessary measures to defend the status and reputation of its armed forces and protect them from any "hostile labeling." (End)
