Several Asian news agencies have expressed solidarity with the Iranian people and voiced concern over rising tensions in the West Asia region amid the ongoing military aggression by the United States and the Israeli regime against Iran.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
The news agencies expressed their solidarity and concern in separate letters to IRNA CEO Hossein Jaberi Ansari.<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u200b<\/div>\n
Mongolia\u2019s national news agency Montsame<\/strong> said the attacks on Iran not only violate international law but also threaten regional and global peace and security.<\/div>\n
\u200b<\/div>\n
Montsame warned that the escalating tensions could further limit diplomatic engagement between the parties and hinder prospects for constructive negotiations. It also thanked IRNA for providing first\u2011hand news and reports on the developments, noting that Montsame relies on the agency as a key source for timely information.<\/div>\n
\u200b<\/div>\n
The National Iraqi News Agency (NINA)<\/strong> also conveyed sympathy with the Iranian people and said it has been publishing IRNA reports on the realities of the recent attacks.<\/div>\n
\u200b<\/div>\n
Thailand\u2019s national news agency, TNA<\/strong>, likewise expressed solidarity, stating that its thoughts are with those who have suffered human and material losses during the US-Israel aggression.<\/div>\n
\u200b<\/div>\n
The agency said it remains committed to comprehensive and balanced coverage, including reporting on a March 4 press briefing held by the Iranian Embassy in Bangkok.<\/div>\n
\u200b<\/div>\n
The messages came after the IRNA CEO urged news agencies worldwide to rely on neutral sources when covering the recent developments, criticizing major US media outlets for failing to present an accurate picture of the attacks and instead amplifying war narratives.<\/div>\n
\u200b<\/div>\n
The US and the Israeli regime launched their joint military aggression on Iran on February 28, following their previous war in June last year. Both conflicts were launched as Tehran was in the midst of diplomatic talks with Washington over its peaceful nuclear program.<\/div>\n
\u200b<\/div>\n
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei was assassinated in an Israeli airstrike targeting his residence and office in Tehran on the first day of the ongoing aggression.<\/div>\n
\u200b<\/div>\n
In response, Iran launched precise retaliatory strikes against Israeli positions and US bases, citing its inherent right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter and warned that further escalation will invite a harsher reaction.<\/div>\n
\u200b<\/div>\n
Iran has also maintained control of the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of global oil passes, emphasizing that the key waterway is closed only to the aggressors and their allies.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
