Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned that Tehran’s answer to any aggression will be decisive and “discouraging” and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi urged his counterparts to strongly denounce US President Donald Trump’s recent threat of military strike against Iran.
“Response of the Islamic Republic of Iran to any cruel aggression will be harsh and discouraging,” President Pezeshkian wrote in a post on his X account on Tuesday.
His statement came after the threat of military strike by US President Donald Trump over reconstruction of Iran’s nuclear program and advancement of its ballistic missile capability in a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Florida.
Trump’s threat of renewed attacks was referring to air raids against Iran’s three major nuclear sites under UN safeguards after Washington joined Israel’s military aggression last June.
Also Iran’s top diplomat in a letter addressed to his counterparts called for “unequivocal condemnation” of US chief executive’s new threat branding it “a gross violation of international law and United Nations Charter”.
“The threat of using force is a blatant violation of the United Nations Charter, which prohibits any threat or use of force against the territorial integrity and national sovereignty of states,” said Araghchi quoted by stated media.
He slammed Trump’s recent remarks and urged all countries to condemn unequivocally his threat which he termed “provocative”.
Meantime, Iran’s mission at the UN headquarters in New York in a letter to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and President of UN Security Council Samuel Zbogar slammed Trump’s “reckless threats” calling for strong condemnation by the world body.
Ambassador Amir-Saeed Iravani also reaffirmed Tehran’s inherent and inalienable right to self-defense consistent with Article 51 of UN Charter against any armed attack or act of aggression, IRNA News Agency reported.
“Iran will exercise this right in a decisive and proportionate manner should its sovereignty, territorial integrity, people, or vital national interests be subjected to further acts of aggression,” read the letter.
European leaders gathered in Dublin on Thursday, 12 November, for the ninth European Political Community (EPC) summit, with security, defence and energy high on the agenda. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev held talks focused on peace, trade and regional cooperation.
