Copenhagen: The Iranian Embassy in Denmark has officially expressed its outrage over a recent editorial by the Danish newspaper Kristeligt Dagblad, which described an illegal military attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities as a great achievement.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, the embassy condemned the editorial in a formal letter addressed to the newspaper’s editors, calling it a ‘dangerous and irresponsible glorification of criminal aggression.’ The embassy highlighted the editorial’s blatant disregard for international law and human safety.

In the letter, shared with the IRNA, the embassy articulated its anger, disgust, and disbelief over the portrayal of the military strike as a significant success for US President Donald Trump. The embassy emphasized that the September 5, 2025, editorial recognized a military action against protected nuclear infrastructure as an accomplishment, calling this judgment a catastrophic misrepresentation.

The embassy outlined three key points: First, Iran, as a com
mitted member of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), has consistently pursued peaceful nuclear activities under stringent oversight by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), with no evidence of deviation towards weaponization. Second, the recent military action constituted a unilateral and aggressive violation of the United Nations Charter and fundamental principles of international law. Third, legitimizing such an act, particularly by Trump, is seen as a ‘cowardly immorality,’ as the attack was carried out remotely, endangering countless civilians.

The Iranian diplomatic mission urged Kristi Dagbladet daily to apologize formally and to present Iran’s perspective prominently to uphold journalistic dignity and fairness.
