The EU’s statement blaming Iran for exercising its right to self-defense against US aggression launched from bases in neighboring countries is "a masterclass in selective moral outrage; it is hypocritical and reckless," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said in a post on X.

He called on the EU to remain "faithful" to the rule of law and the principles of the UN Charter that it has long claimed to uphold.

"It must stop appeasing aggressors while blaming those who respond to unlawful attacks," he stressed.

The spokesperson asserted that Iran’s strikes against those bases and assets that are used to launch unlawful attacks against Iran "are a lawful exercise of self-defense."

"States have an established legal obligation not to allow their territory or assets to be used for invading other countries," he added.
