North Korea Condemns Israeli, US Military Actions Against Iran as ‘Illegal’

Sunday, March 1, 2026 at 6:16 AM

North Korea's foreign ministry has denounced recent Israeli strikes and U.S. military operations targeting Iran as unlawful acts of aggression. The statement comes after Israel launched extensive attacks in Tehran following a major operation that reportedly killed Iran's Supreme Leader.

North Korea has strongly criticized recent military actions by Israel and the United States against Iran, with a foreign ministry representative condemning the operations as unlawful acts of aggression that violate Iran’s national sovereignty, according to a Sunday report from the Korean Central News Agency.

The North Korean spokesperson characterized the U.S. military action against Iran as being “within the range of expectations,” describing it as a predictable result of what they termed America’s “hegemonic and gangster-like” behavior.

According to the statement, any “war of aggression” conducted by the United States and Israel cannot be justified under any conditions.

The North Korean official also called on Middle Eastern nations and other countries with common interests to step up and take action to restore peace and stability throughout the region.

These condemnations follow Israel’s announcement Sunday that its forces had conducted extensive strikes in central Tehran. The Israeli military reported carrying out a major operation that resulted in the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, sparking concerns about potential widespread unrest across the Middle East.
