The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) will meet today (Monday) to discuss Israel’s attack on Iran.
“Israeli regime’s actions constitute a grave threat to international peace and security and further destabilize an already fragile region,” Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said in a letter to the 15-member council on Saturday.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran, in alignment with the principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and under international law, reserves its inherent right to legal and legitimate response to these criminal attacks at the appropriate time,” he wrote.
Israel attacked Iran
Last week, Israel launched air strikes in Iran.
Iran’s air defence forces said in a statement that bases in Tehran, Khuzestan and Ilam provinces were attacked.
However, the attacks had been successfully countered but that there was “limited damage” in some locations.
