US-Israeli attacks on Iran are “illegal aggression” ⁠and a ⁠violation of national ⁠sovereignty, ⁠North Korea’s foreign ministry ⁠spokesperson has been quoted as saying by state ⁠media Korean ⁠Central News Agency.

The US involvement ‌was “within the range of expectations”, the spokesperson said, calling it an inevitable outcome given the “hegemonic and gangster-like” nature of the United States.

The “war of aggression” by the US and Israel ⁠is unacceptable under any circumstances, ⁠the statement said.
