Iran Condemns Repeated US Acts of Aggression

UNITED NATIONS (ANTARA) - Iran has written to the United Nations to condemn “in the strongest possible terms the repeated acts of aggression” and the continuing violations committed by the United States against the Charter of the United Nations and other applicable rules of international law.

In a letter addressed to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the President of the Security Council for July, Iran’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Amir Saeid Iravani, said on Wednesday (8 July) that the US had once again launched large-scale military strikes against a number of installations in southern Iran.

“The continuation of these acts of aggression constitutes yet another flagrant violation of Article 2(4) of the UN Charter and a material breach of paragraph 1 of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding,” he said.

The deliberate targeting of civilian facilities, combined with the continuous unlawful use of force against Iran, “constitutes a serious threat to international peace and security and further demonstrates the total disregard by the United States for its international legal obligations,” the representative said.

Iran, Iravani said, reaffirms that the US bears full and absolute responsibility for all consequences arising from the unlawful use of force and for the serious threat posed by its illegal actions to international peace and security.
