Czech Foreign Ministry condemns Iran’s strike on Israel

The Czech Foreign Ministry has condemned Iran’s attack on Israel that began late on Saturday evening. "Czechia firmly condemns the destabilizing behavior of Iran and its proxies who decided to attack Israel. We reiterate the Israeli right for self-defense. Iran’s long term aggressive behavior is preventing the Middle East region to live in peace and security," the ministry said on social networks.

Words of support for Israel have also come from the Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala. “We stand firmly behind Israel and its right to defend itself,” he wrote on the X network.

Iran launched a large-scale air strike on Israel on Saturday night in response to a recent attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus attributed to the Jewish state. According to the Israeli Army, Iran launched more than 300 drones and missiles, 99 percent of which were intercepted.
