On January 5, local time, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bagae said at a press conference that the US attack on Venezuela should alert the international community. The US has repeatedly infringed on other countries' sovereignty and undermined international rules, and the international community should strongly condemn it. Bagae said that it is illegal for one country's president to be forcibly controlled by another country, and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro must be released. In response to the US side's so-called “criminal” accusation against Maduro, Bagae stressed that under no circumstances can a country's domestic laws be used as a basis for invading another country; this is just a cover up and false reason for the US to defend its illegal acts.
