Iran demands UN Security Council meet to condemn Israeli airstrikes

( Times of Israel )

Iran calls for an urgent United Nations Security Council meeting to condemn Israel’s airstrikes on the Islamic Republic yesterday.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi sends a letter to the UN chief and the head of the Council “demanding an urgent meeting of the Security Council to take a decisive position in condemning this aggression,” a ministry statement says.

In his letter, Araghchi claims that “most of the projectiles fired were intercepted by Iran’s defense systems,” but the attack led to damage at “the target points,” as well as the death of four soldiers.

He says the Israeli attack was a “clear violation of the sovereignty” of Iran, which “reserves the inherent right… to respond to this criminal aggression.”
