Pyongyang, June 19 (KCNA) -- A spokesperson
for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea issued
the following press statement titled "The aggressive forces who brought a
new war to the Middle East will never evade the responsibility for destroying
global peace" on June 19:
The illegal act of state-sponsored terrorism
by Israel which launched a reckless large-scale military attack on the Islamic
Republic of Iran at dawn of June 13 is sparking off strong denunciation and
concern of the international community, raising the danger of a new all-out war
in the Middle East region.
The daily-escalating Israel's reckless
military attack on civilians in wanton violation of international law and the
basic principle of the UN Charter is a hideous act of aggression wantonly
violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a sovereign state and an
unpardonable crime against humanity.
The DPRK expresses serious concern over the
Israel's military attack and resolutely denounces it.
The present grave situation witnessed by the
world clearly proves that Israel, supported and patronized by the U.S. and the
West, is a cancer-like entity for the peace in the Middle East and a chief
culprit of destroying global peace and security.
Israel has steadily expanded its territory
through four Middle East wars and tens of military invasions in the past. In
recent years alone, it has escalated military attacks on the Gaza Strip of
Palestine, the West Bank of the Jordan River, Lebanon, Syria and other regional
countries step by step, thus massacring tens of thousands of civilians and
creating a serious humanitarian crisis.
The international community is strictly
watching the U.S. and Western forces fanning up the flames of war, taking issue
with the legitimate sovereign right and exercise of the right to self-defense
of Iran, the victim, far from condemning Israel for getting frantic with the
territorial expansion, pushing the situation in the Middle East to an
uncontrollable catastrophic phase.
The Zionists who brought a new war to the
Middle East and the behind-the-scene forces who zealously patronize and support
them will be held totally responsible for destroying international peace and
security.
