Iran Slams Israel’s “Blatant Violation of Law” After Military Strikes
In a statement issued Saturday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry condemned Israel’s precision strikes on Iranian military sites, branding them “acts of aggression” and “blatant violations of international law.” Iran highlighted Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, which upholds the right of self-defense, declaring its intent to protect national sovereignty.
The ministry reiterated Iran’s right to defend its territory under international law. This follows recent military strikes by Israel on Iranian targets, allegedly in retaliation for a missile barrage launched toward Israel by Iran. The Iranian statement expressed determination to safeguard national security using all resources while urging regional nations to join efforts for stability.
Iran criticized Israel’s ongoing operations in Gaza and its conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon, which Tehran claimed was being bolstered by Western support. Iran further emphasized the need for “urgent mobilization” of the international community to halt what it termed “genocide” and “aggression” by Israel in Gaza and Lebanon.
Israel’s latest precision strike, following Iran’s recent missile launch toward Tel Aviv, marks a significant escalation in a yearlong series of cross-border strikes. Iran-backed Hezbollah has also become involved in Gaza’s ongoing conflict, creating additional tension in the region.
