Embassies are universally treated as the territory of the embassy’s nation. That’s why ppl can jump into the embassy of some country without an extradition treaty and say “lol you can’t get me now, coppers!”
Iran doesn’t view the attack as on its territory, the attack was on its territory.
I mean it's an embassy, it literally is equivalent to an attack on Iranian soil. No viewpoint necessary, that is a fact. Israel committed an act of war against Iran and they are entirely within their right to retaliate.
I get that the paper is trying to thread carefully. But Iran doesn't just "view" the attack as equivalent to an attack on its own territory. Internat law does.
I'm curious about that.
Could you point to the law, section and paragraph saying that? That's a good argument for me to use in conversations
This blog says that an embassy is the property of the sending nation, and enjoys diplomatic immunity, but that it is still part of the host's territory. They cite articles 21-25 of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
