Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baqaei has said US allies in the region are aware that the US-Israeli war on Iran is not legal but rather a “unilateral step” that goes against international law, Al Jazeera reports.

Speaking at a news conference in Tehran, Baqaei said all countries that have taken part directly or indirectly in the war are “responsible”.

European leaders, including German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, have confirmed the war has resulted in “massive costs” for the continent and the world, he added.
