This action, which is the continuation of the unilateral coercive actions of the United States against other nations against international law, is fomenting chaos and promoting banditry in the air field and will be a threat to peace and air security, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kan’ani said in a statement.
Declaring solidarity and supporting the Venezuelan government's actions in protecting and recapture of public property belonging to the people of this country, he emphasized the need for deepening cooperation between countries in confronting the sanctions and unilateral coercive measures of the United States.
The United States has shown complete disregard for international legal norms by seizing Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's airplane, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Tuesday.
