By Anadolu staff

Malaysia on Saturday strongly condemned Israel’s latest attacks on Iran, calling them a violation of international law.

In a statement, the Foreign Ministry said the attacks by the Zionist Israeli regime on a sovereign state are a blatant breach of international law and seriously undermine regional stability.

"Malaysia calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities and an end to the cycle of violence," it said, adding that Israel’s continued attacks with impunity have severely affected and will continue to affect the security and future stability of the Middle East, bringing the region closer to the brink of a wider conflict.

Israel announced early Saturday that its military had carried out "precise strikes" on “military targets” in Iran, as explosions were heard in the capital Tehran.

Israeli army radio said dozens of Israeli aircraft had launched attacks on the capital Tehran, Meshed, and a power station in Karaj.

Later, the military announced that it had completed targeted airstrikes on Iranian military facilities.

The strikes were in response to recent missile attacks by Tehran on Israel.
