Baqaei: Providing technical and logistical support to aggressor constitutes complicity in aggression

Esmaeil Baqaei, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson
Pars Today – Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson said that providing 'technical and logistical' support to the aggressors constitutes nothing less than a clear and direct contribution to the commission of an illegal war of choice — a blatant act of aggression and a serious violation of international law.
According to Pars Today, citing the Mehr News Agency, Esmaeil Baqaei, reacting to remarks by Italian officials who described their country's involvement in the U.S.-Israeli imposed war against Iran as limited to "technical and logistical support," and on that basis denied any cooperation in the war against Iran, wrote on his personal page:
"This is a glaring contradiction and a fallacious argument aimed at evading responsibility for complicity in a grave internationally wrongful act: publicly denying any aid or assistance to the aggressors, while openly acknowledging the “technical and logistical” support that enabled and facilitated the unlawful American-Israeli war of aggression against Iran."
He added: "Providing 'technical and logistical' support to the aggressors constitutes nothing less than a clear and direct contribution to the commission of an illegal war of choice — a blatant act of aggression and a serious violation of international law."
