Iran embassy in Dhaka has expressed its deep appreciation to the government and people of Bangladesh for their strong expressions of solidarity following the recent escalation of hostilities in the Middle East.

In a statement issued today, the embassy said Iran is grateful for Bangladesh’s firm condemnation of the “military aggression by the Zionist regime of Israel and its allies.”

“We express our heartfelt gratitude to the friendly and brotherly people of Bangladesh for their invaluable support and solidarity,” read the statement.

It added that the spontaneous support, expressions of sympathy and resolute stance taken by Bangladeshi citizens, intellectuals, civil society representatives and political leaders underscored the nation’s unwavering commitment to justice, freedom and human conscience.

“This show of solidarity with the people of Iran reflects the national will to defend regional sovereignty and territorial integrity,” said the statement.

The statement also noted that Bangladesh’s support conveyed a strong message to the international community opposing “illegitimate aggression and the violation of international law.”

Reaffirming Iran’s position, the mission said: “Resistance against aggression is not only a legitimate right but also a moral and humanitarian obligation.”

“We once again emphasize that in the face of violence, aggression, and expansionist policies, mutual solidarity among nations is of utmost importance,” the statement said.
