After Israel and American attacks against Iran, now Russia and North Korea have issued a statement and given their first reaction on Khamenei’s death.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said the assassination of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was “a condemnable violation of all rules of human morality and international law.”
Putin sent a message of condolence to his Iranian counterpart on Sunday, saying Khamenei would be remembered as “an excellent statesman” who helped improve Russia-Iranian relations.
Elsewhere in Lebanon, Naim Qassem, leader of the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group, expressed grief over Khamenei’s death in the US-Israeli strike, and said, “We will fulfill our duty in confronting the attack.” He vowed that Hezbollah would not give up its opposition in the face of American and Israeli “tyranny.”
Apart from this, after the death of Khamenei, a statement has also been issued by North Korea. North Korea said in a statement that the attacks on Iran were a ‘violation of national sovereignty’.
