North Korea's foreign ministry condemned recent Israeli airstrikes and a U.S. military operation against Iran, labeling them as illegal aggression and violations of national sovereignty. The spokesperson described the U.S. actions as expected due to its 'hegemonic' behavior and called the attacks unacceptable.
