New York, SANA- In a letter addressed to both the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the President of the United Nations Security Council, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi renewed Iran’s legal and legitimate right to respond to the Zionist aggression against it, calling for an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council regarding this aggression.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran condemns these deliberate acts of aggression by the Zionist entity in the strongest terms. Israel’s unlawful attacks violate the foundational principles of international law and the United Nations Charter, particularly Article 2, Paragraph 4, which strictly prohibits the use of force against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of any state. Israeli entity’s actions constitute a grave threat to international peace and security and further destabilize an already fragile region,” Araghchi said in the letter which was quoted by the Iranian News Agency (IRAN).
Araghchi affirmed that the Islamic Republic of Iran, in alignment with the principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and under international law, reserves its inherent right to legal and legitimate response to these criminal attacks at the appropriate time.
In his letter, Araghchi stressed that “In light of the consequences of the Israeli entity’s ongoing and systematic aggression, the Islamic Republic of Iran urges the United Nations Secretary-General and the Security Council to take a firm stance and condemn the Israeli entity for committing these acts of aggression strongly and unequivocally, demonstrating to the international community that such egregious violations of international law and the UN Charter will not go unanswered.”
“Furthermore, the Islamic Republic of Iran requests the President of the Security Council to convene an urgent meeting to address this severe violation and unlawful actions and ensure accountability of this criminal entity,” Araghchi added.
