Iran's UN envoy meets Guterres, affirms his country's right to legitimate defense against Zionist aggression
New York - Saba:
Iran's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Saeed Iravani, met on Friday with UN Secretary-General António Guterres.
According to Mehr News Agency, Guterres expressed concern over the escalating situation and called for an immediate ceasefire. He stressed the importance of avoiding attacks on civilians and nuclear facilities, and emphasized the urgent need to resume nuclear negotiations. He warned against the expansion of the conflict and the possible involvement of new actors, stating that the war must not escalate into an international confrontation.
During the meeting, Ambassador Iravani reaffirmed the Islamic Republic of Iran's principled stance, emphasizing that Iran was not the initiator of the war, but rather the victim of blatant aggression by the Zionist entity.
He referred to Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, stating that Iran's defensive measures constitute an exercise of its legitimate right to self-defense. He added that as long as the Security Council fails to fulfill its responsibility to halt the aggression, Iran will continue to assert this right.
Ambassador Iravani called on the UN Secretary-General and the Security Council to act in accordance with their responsibilities under the UN Charter. He also pointed to repeated attacks by the Zionist entity on Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities, which are under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
He described these actions as a flagrant violation of international law and recalled that the Security Council had previously condemned such attacks under Resolution 487. Iravani stressed that the Islamic Republic of Iran expects this resolution to be applied impartially in the current case and to be placed on the agenda of both the Security Council and the UN Secretary-General.
