DOHA, February 28. /TASS/. Iran considers the joint US and Israeli strikes on its territory a declaration of war, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said.

"The aggression of the US and Israel against us is a declaration of war, not a limited action," he told Qatar's Al Jazeera TV channel. The diplomat added that Tehran did not start this conflict, but that "the enemy imposed it" on Iran.
