Iran Urges UN Action After Israeli Strikes on Nuclear, Military Sites
In a strongly worded letter to the United Nations, Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has condemned Israel’s airstrikes on its nuclear and military facilities, calling them a “brazen and unlawful act of aggression.” Addressed to UN Secretary-General António Guterres and the President of the Security Council, the letter demands urgent international intervention.
The Iranian government accused Israel of launching coordinated military assaults on several Iranian cities, including attacks on the Natanz nuclear facility and the targeted assassination of senior scientists and military officials in Tehran. “This reckless attack… not only endangered Iranian civilian lives, but also posed an alarming threat to regional and international peace,” the letter reads.
Calling the strikes an “open admission of responsibility” by Israel’s Prime Minister, the letter describes them as “clear instances of state terrorism.” Iran emphasized that these actions violate the UN Charter, the Geneva Conventions, and international humanitarian law.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry asserted its right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter and vowed to “respond decisively and proportionately.” Araghchi warned, “Israel will come to deeply regret this reckless aggression and the grave strategic miscalculation it has made.”
Iran is now demanding an emergency Security Council meeting, urging member states to “take urgent and concrete measures to hold the Israeli regime fully accountable for its crimes.”
As tensions escalate, Iran has called on the international community to act “immediately and unambiguously” to prevent further instability and protect the rule of international law.
