"In exercising its inherent right of #SelfDefense under Article 51 of the #UNCharter, and in response to the Israeli regime recurring military aggressions, particularly its armed attack on 1st April 2024 against Iranian diplomatic premises, in defiance of Article 2 (4) of the #UNCharter and in flagrant violation of Int'l Law, and subsequent to the failure of the #UNSC in taking measures necessary to condemn and hold the aggressor accountable, #Iran carried out a series of military strikes on Israeli military objectives," Iran's Permanent UNoG Mission wrote on its official X account on Sunday.
"As a responsible Member of the @UN, Iran is committed to the purposes and principles enshrined in the #UNCharter and Int'l law, and reiterates its consistent position that it does not seek escalation or conflict in the region," it added.
"While warning against any further military provocations, Iran reaffirms its unwavering determination to defend its people, national security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity against any threat or act of aggression. Iran will not hesitate to exercise its inherent right of #SelfDefense when required under Int'l Law," it noted.
