Targeting diplomatic premises constitutes a blatant breach of international regulations.

Through the assault on the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Damascus, the Israeli regime has one more underscored its disregard for international norms and laws.  In an attempt to deflect from its failure in the Gaza conflict and mitigate the repercussions, this regime is resorting to perpetuating violence and war.  The Israeli regime bears the responsibility for this inhumane and unlawful act.

The Note Verbal of the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran in New York to the Secretary General and the United Nations Security Council explains the legal and political dimensions of this crime.
