Today’s Events Will Have Lasting Consequences: Araqchi

The United States, as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, is grossly violating the UN Charter, international law, and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) by attacking Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi made a statement concerning the US strikes, stating, “The events that occurred this morning are shocking and disgraceful and will have lasting consequences. Every member of the UN should be seriously concerned about this extremely dangerous, illegal, and criminal behavior.

Based on the UN Charter and its provisions that allow for a legitimate response in the context of self-defense, Iran reserves all options to protect its sovereignty, interests, and people,” he noted.
