Anwar Ibrahim, the prime minister of Malaysia, described Iran’s current use of robots to attack Israel on April 13 as a “legitimate act.”

The Zionist Israeli government’s attack on the Iranian ambassador, which is against international laws, is the start of the conflict between Iran and Israel, which is a direct result of one’s deeds. When you break the law you ask a backlash, ” said Mr Anwar, according to the Malay Mail and different media platforms.

He added that he would be holding a meeting with his Cabinet that hour to discuss the next steps and that the conflict between the two regional enemy was detrimental to the global economy and peace.  

Additionally, according to Mr. Anwar, Putrajaya welcomed claims from Iran that its answer may be limited to what they would do, as long as there were no additional Israeli actions.
