BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 1. Iran’s Permanent
Representative to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, rejected
Western claims regarding Tehran’s nuclear program and called for
restraint amid recent military actions by the United States and
Israel, Trend
reports.
“I also categorically reject the assertion made by the
representative of France, the United Kingdom, and certain other
Western members regarding Iran's peaceful nuclear program. These
claims lack a factual and legal basis,” Iravani said at the UN
Security Council.
He criticized the rationale provided by Washington for the
strikes, noting that “the justification advanced by the
representative of the United States today are illegal and entirely
devoid of legal foundation,” and stressed that preemptive action or
claims of imminent threats “cannot legitimize aggression.”
Iravani said the recent operations by the United States and
Israel amounted to “an unprovoked and premeditated aggression
against the Islamic Republic of Iran,” with civilian areas
reportedly affected.
While highlighting the severity of the situation, he urged all
parties to exercise caution and respect international law,
emphasizing the importance of dialogue to prevent further
escalation.
