Iran condemns airstrike on Sudan arms factory

Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast denounced what he called the recent Israeli airstrike on an arms factory in the Sudanese capital Khartoum, Press TV reported on Thursday. Sudan on Wednesday officially accused Israel of launching an overnight air attack against Al-Yarmouk Arms Factory Complex in Khartoum late Tuesday. The Arab League (AL) condemned Wednesday the "terrorist attack" over Al-Yarmouk Arms Factory Complex in Khartoum a day earlier. The aggressive act runs counter to international regulations and violates the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of the African country, Mehmanparast was quoted as saying on Thursday. He referred to the airstrike as "unjustifiable" saying that the move would escalate tensions in the region. The Islamic republic calls on regional organizations and bodies to adopt a proper stance, fulfill their heavy responsibility against the blatant aggression and prevent its repetition in the future, the Iranian spokesman added. Mehmanparast urged regional countries to remain vigilant and take firm stances against the "Israeli regime's attack on a Muslim country and on a member of the Arab League."
