Western countries lose the moral high ground when they back Israel\u2019s actions, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman says<\/strong><\/p>\n

Israel has no justification for trying to bring about \u201cregime change\u201d<\/em> in Iran through its bombing campaign, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told RT\u2019s Rick Sanchez on Wednesday. West Jerusalem\u2019s backers conveniently forget about the legal and moral principles they claim to defend the moment they\u2019re called upon to support the Jewish state, she stated.<\/p>\n

Israel launched a series of missile attacks against Iran on Friday, claiming that Tehran was on the brink of acquiring nuclear weapons \u2013 a goal Tehran has repeatedly denied pursuing. The Islamic Republic responded with a missile barrage of its own, and the two nations have been exchanging strikes ever since.

\u201cWhat has Iran done wrong? What is it being bombed for?\u201d<\/em> Zakharova asked Sanchez in response to a question about the ongoing hostilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIsrael says they don\u2019t like the regime in Iran, the political regime,\u201d<\/em> Zakharova said, stressing that this doesn\u2019t gives West Jerusalem the right to attack another nation. \u201cWhether you like a regime or you don\u2019t, if it doesn\u2019t attack you\u2026 you have no right to change that regime,\u201d<\/em> she argued.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s nuclear program, which Israel portrays as a source of major concern, is a matter for international law and diplomacy to deal with, the spokeswoman pointed out, adding that any issues linked to it should be resolved by the international community. \u201cIt\u2019s not a matter of somebody trying to solve this issue on their own,\u201d<\/em> she added.<\/p>\n

West Jerusalem has also failed to prove that there was any immediate threat coming from Tehran, Zakharova maintained. \u201cWe\u2019ve heard multiple statements from Israel that they have proof that Iran is one step away from creating weapons of mass destruction. Why can\u2019t they just show the documents?\u201d<\/em> she said, expressing doubts about whether any such evidence exists.<\/p>\n

Yet, the lack of justification for Israel\u2019s actions apparently does not concern Western nations, the spokeswoman said.<\/p>\n

\n

Israel is bombing Iran, and the Western world keeps saying that Israel has the right to do so. The West seems to have forgotten in an instant about human rights, about children\u2026 in the midst of hell.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On Monday, Iran\u2019s authorities said that, since the start of hostilities, Israeli attacks have killed at least 224 people, including 74 women and children, while injuring 1,800. Meanwhile, Israel claims that Iranian strikes have killed at least 24 people, all civilians, while injuring nearly 600.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
