US has the right to strike on Iraqi and Syrian territory – Polish Foreign Ministry

Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Andrzej Sheyna said Warsaw recognises the United States’ legitimate right to strike the territory of Syria and Iraq, while Iran has no right to do the same.

The Polish diplomat said that Warsaw recognises the legitimacy of the US strikes on Syria and Iraq. According to Andrzej Sheyna, the US actions “are a response to an earlier terrorist attack on a military base in Jordan, where three US servicemen were killed”.

“The US response is within the framework of ensuring security and countering future strikes by terrorist organisations,” Poland’s deputy foreign minister told reporters.

At the same time, Poland’s deputy foreign minister emphasised that he did not consider it possible for Iran to take similar steps.

“I recall that these strikes were a military operation using long-range bombers that precisely hit targets, let’s call them military. Fears that there will be some kind of retaliation from Iran are not justified, because there was no strike on the territory of this country, but on the terrorist body,” – summarised Andrzej Sheyna.

Recall, earlier London said that the missile strikes of the British Navy on the location of the Houthis in Yemen, as well as the previous ones, are legal under international law.
