Envoy: Iran will respond ...
He said the Israeli regime’s threats are in direct contravention of the international law and the UN Charter.
The Iranian ambassador pointed to similar remarks by an Israeli minister, Yoav Gallant, on February 17, in which he made threats of employing military force against Iran’s civil sites and critical infrastructure.
Iravani underscored that any Israeli military attack on Iran’s infrastructure and facilities will have devastating effects on regional and international peace and security.
He urged the UN Security Council to shoulder its responsibilities in this regard, and unequivocally condemn the Israeli regime’s warmongering statements and malevolent activities, which pose a real threat to international peace and security.
”The Islamic Republic of Iran has made it clear time and again that it will not hesitate to take necessary measures, in accordance with international law and the UN Charter, to respond decisively to any threat posed by the Israeli regime wherever and whenever deemed necessary, and to defend its national and security interests as well as to protect its people,” Iravani emphasized.
The envoy said all those who aid, abet or otherwise assist, support and facilitate the Israeli regime to carry out a military action against Iran must bear responsibility and accountability for their role in such an internationally wrongful act.
