Iran reserves ‘complete and lawful right’ to respond to US aggression: UN envoy
Pro-zion*st UN fails to condemn US-zion*st unprovoked attacks on Iran –
Iran’s permanent representative to the United Nations, speaking at an emergency session of the UN Security Council on Monday, strongly condemned the US military aggression on Iranian soil, saying Tehran reserves the complete and lawful right to defend itself under international law.
In a fiery speech, Amir Saeid Iravani said today marks yet another “shameful chapter in the political history of the United States,” referring to the early Sunday attacks on three peaceful Iranian nuclear facilities in Isfahan, Natanz and Fordow.
He said US President Donald Trump “personally carried out the most disgraceful part of this wicked scenario,” referring to Trump ordering the aggression and brazenly announcing it on his social media platforms, taking all and sundry by surprise.
Describing the Islamic Republic of Iran as an “independent and peace-seeking nation,” the envoy said the country had repeatedly warned the “warmongering US regime” against any aggressive actions prior to Sunday’s acts of aggression.
“Now, based on international law, Iran retains its complete and lawful right to respond to this blatant act of aggression,” Iravani declared, condemning the “premeditated and unprovoked” assault by Washington and linking it to the Israeli aggression against the people of Iran that started last Friday and has claimed more than 400 innocent lives so far.
“This attack (by the US) follows extensive military aggression by the Israeli regime,” the diplomat noted, branding the US justification as “false, absurd, and legally void.”
He slammed the US Security Council and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for their “selective behavior and double standards” on the Israeli and American attacks on Iran’s nuclear sites, calling it a “moral, political, and legal disgrace.”
The Iranian envoy also referenced the 2020 assassination of top anti-terror commander General Qassem Soleimani, calling it a “cowardly and gruesome act of terrorism carried out on the direct orders of the US president,” showing long-standing US hostility and impunity.
Iravani accused Israel of fabricating a deceptive narrative for over two decades, despite being a nuclear-armed regime operating outside international legal frameworks.
“Iran’s actions are fully consistent with Article 51 of the UN Charter, which recognizes the inherent right to self-defense,” he stated.
He urged the Security Council to act immediately under Chapter VII of the UN Charter to address the injustice and flagrant violations stemming from the U.S. and Israeli actions.‘Humiliation of the international community’
In his remarks, Russia’s representative to the United Nations also delivered a sharp condemnation of both American and Israeli aggression against Iran, calling it a blatant insult to international norms and a direct affront to the global community.
“We strongly condemn the US’s irresponsible and provocative actions against Iran,” Vasily Nebenzya asserted. “The attacks carried out by the United States and Israel constitute a complete humiliation of the international community.”
The diplomat criticized certain UN Security Council members for their silence and inaction, accusing them of lacking the courage to denounce Washington’s aggression.
“Some members of this Council do not have the courage to condemn these attacks. The United States has shown time and again that it does not value diplomacy,” he remarked.
He further pointed out the glaring double standards regarding nuclear non-proliferation.
“Israel has yet to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), while Iran remains the most heavily inspected country in the world under the oversight of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA),” the Russian representative said.‘Dangerous violation of UN Charter’
In his speech, the Chinese envoy to the United States also condemned the US military attacks against Iran’s nuclear facilities as a grave breach of international law, warning that such actions undermine global peace and stability.
“The actions of the United States constitute a dangerous violation of the United Nations Charter, international law, and Iran’s sovereignty,” Fu Cong stated.
He warned that the strikes have inflicted serious damage on the international nuclear non-proliferation regime.
“The US attacks have dealt a major blow to the global framework for preventing the spread of nuclear weapons,” he emphasized.‘Dangerous violation of UN Charter’

Pakistani envoy to the United Nations, in his address to the emergency meeting of the UN Security Council, voiced strong concern over the Israeli and American acts of aggression, calling them a breach of international law and urging the UN Security Council to take immediate action.
“We express our deep concern over the rising tensions following Israel’s aggression against Iran,” said Pakistan’s representative Iftikhar Ahmad. “The Security Council must reject the attacks on Iran and recognize them as a clear violation of international law.”
Pakistan also appealed to fellow Security Council members to support a proposed resolution calling for an unconditional ceasefire and the resumption of dialogue.
“We urge Council members to endorse a draft resolution that demands an immediate ceasefire without preconditions and a return to meaningful talks,” he noted.PressTV report

Impenetrable Fordow
Photos of the Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz nuclear facilities in Iran after they were targeted with a total of 14 GBU-57 bombs by American B2 stealth warplanes, in violation of the NPT. In addition, over 30 BGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched by American submarines.
The GBU-57 bomb is not an ordinary bomb; the GPS-guided bomb weighs 30,000 lbs (14 tons) in total and is designed to penetrate over 60 meters (200 feet) before its 6,000 lbs warhead detonates.
It is the first time that it has ever been used, and it is the successor to the “Mother of All Bombs,” the American GBU-43, weighing 21,600 lbs in total, which was used for the first time in 2017 in Afghanistan.
The US used 14 of their GBU-57s, which is over half of their estimated stockpile.
While the IOF’s US-provided 2,000 lbs bunker buster bombs have caused extensive damage in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria, even their most destructive bombs (BLU-109 and GBU-28)—like those used against Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah—penetrate about 10% of the depth of the GBU-57 and weigh one sixth as much.
Fordow is one of the most hardened targets, at a depth of 90-110 meters under rock, which requires repeated bombing by such bombs for its destruction. American warplanes launched the GBU-57s in quick succession to deepen the impacts. However, Natanz centrifuges are about ~50 meters deep. There is no risk of radiation leakage, and the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant (the only operation nuclear power plant, not a facility used for enrichment like the others) has not been targeted.
Fordow The Economist, a media arm of the US-zionist military, publishes that the fortified Fordow nuclear facility in Iran cannot be destroyed by American bunker-buster bombs and “can only be destroyed by nuclear weapons or ground forces.” This followed from America’s first-ever bombing of Iran this morning using its most powerful non-nuclear bombs.
This media incitement paves the way for further zionist-American bombing, to attempt to achieve “israel’s” stated goals of “destroying Iran’s nuclear program.” Zionist media reported that the US and “israel” are coordinating in strikes of Iranian air defense sites, after the US provided the IOF with a list of targets.
While the extent of the current destruction to Fordow is unclear at this time, the US and “israel” are attempting to pave the way for more bombing, especially following Trump’s statement tying the continuation of US bombings of Iran to a cessation of fighting between Iran and “israel.” -
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: My country has been attacked!
“The Islamic Republic of Iran will continue to defend its territory, sovereignty, security, and people by all necessary means.
My country has been attacked — it was an act of aggression — and we must respond in accordance with the right to self-defense. And we will.
There is no red line the United States and Israel haven’t crossed. The last and most dangerous line was crossed last night.
•By targeting nuclear facilities, they have violated a broad and dangerous red line.
I will meet President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Monday for serious consultations.
“Russia, along with China, has recently been trying to prepare a UN Security Council resolution to reach a ceasefire. The situation has now evolved, and I will discuss with them the path forward.
“Calling on Iran to return to diplomacy is inappropriate — we were already engaged in negotiations with the United States when Israel sabotaged the talks.
It wasn’t Iran that betrayed diplomacy — it was the United States. They betrayed the negotiations.
The US has shown it understands only the language of threats and force.
I believe new efforts can now begin to prevent the US from escalating this conflict further.
Last night’s attack is a serious crime — not only against the Iranian nation but also against the UN Charter, all international laws and regulations, and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
With this act, the United States has delivered a devastating blow to global peace and security.”

UN Security Council holds emergency meeting on US strikes against Iran on Russia’s request
The UN Security Council convened an emergency session today at Russia’s request to discuss recent US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites. This marks the Council’s third meeting since the Iran-zion*st conflict erupted.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, speaking earlier alongside his Iraqi counterpart Fuad Hussein, confirmed Tehran’s intent to formally bring the issue before the Council.
For his part, Hussein emphasized the need to activate an open-membership ministerial contact group under the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to contain the crisis and facilitate dialogue.
He also reiterated Iraq’s proposal to form an Arab-Islamic follow-up committee. This group would engage with the US, European nations, and Iran to pursue de-escalation and prevent further regional instability.
As chair of the current Arab League summit, Iraq pledged to continue pushing for diplomatic efforts and peaceful resolutions.

Condemnations pour in after US aggression against Iran’s nuclear energy sites
Condemnations are pouring in against the US aggression on Iran’s nuclear sites, with many countries describing it as an illegal act that threatens regional and global peace.
In a statement on Sunday, a spokesperson for the Iraqi government said targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities constitutes a serious threat to security and peace in the West Asia region and poses significant dangers to regional stability.
The Pakistani government also condemned the assault, calling it a “war crime.”
In a statement, the chairman of the defense committee in the Pakistani Senate said the attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities constitute a “war crime” and a clear example of “deliberate aggression.”
The Israeli lobby, the statement noted, has managed to dominate American foreign policy, and President Donald Trump has deceitfully broken his promise not to start a new war.
A statement from the Pakistani foreign ministry said the US attack violates all norms of international law, and Iran has the legitimate right to defend itself under the UN Charter.’
In a statement, Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry also condemned the violation of Iran’s sovereignty and called on the international community to “redouble its efforts to ensure a peaceful resolution to the crisis in Iran.”
Egyptian Foreign Ministry, in a statement, also condemned the aggression on Iran, which it noted has serious consequences for regional and international security and peace.Oman also denounced the American aggression against Iran, calling it a violation of international law and a threat that could lead to a wider war.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun warned that targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities increases the risk of tensions that threaten security, stability across the world.
Qatar also condemned the aggression and called for an immediate halt to Israeli-American attacks and a return to dialogue and diplomacy.
The aggression was reported in the early hours of Sunday, announced by US President Donald Trump himself on his social media platforms.
In response, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) condemned the aggression on the country’s nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz.
The agency said the three nuclear sites operate under the full supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and the “brutal assault” on them violates international law.
The AEOI said the aggression was carried out “under the indifference — rather the complicity — of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).”
“The international community is expected to condemn this lawlessness based on jungle rules and to stand with Iran in asserting its legitimate rights,” read the statement, adding that the organization assures the great Iranian nation that despite enemy’s sinister conspiracies, it will not allow the progress of this national industry to be halted.
“The organization has placed on its agenda all necessary actions to defend the rights of the noble Iranian people, including legal follow-up measures.”

Fordow nuclear energy plant near the central Iranian city of Qom. (File photo) Remains to question as to how genuine the condemnation of the likes of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, and Lebanon is, considering that most of them host American air bases.
However, Latin American country leaders, including but not limited to Bolivia and Cuba, have genuinely condemned the unprovoked US attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Bolivian President Luis Alberto Arce strongly condemns the US attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, stating that it endangers peace and breaches international law.
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel condemns the US bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities, calling it a dangerous escalation that violates international law and risks irreversible consequences.
Chile’s President Gabriel Boric condemns the US bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities, calling for respect for international law and peace.
Few American Congressmen and women and lawmakers have admonished trample Trump’s unilateral decision and intervention.
UN secretary general, António Guterres, says he is “gravely alarmed” by the actions taken by President Trump against Iran’s nuclear facilities, calling it a direct threat to international peace and security.
By the way, the UN is owned by the Americans.

Iran has filed a complaint against Grossi at the Security Council
Fake, pro-zion*st Grossi, following unprovoked US-zion*st attacks on civilian and nuclear sites says, “In light of the urgent situation in Iran, I am convening an emergency meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors for tomorrow.”
Al AkhbarThere is no genuine intent to hold the American-zion*st entity accountable for their illegitimate and criminal conduct.
Grossi only invokes the impression of care and regard for the shine of “Democracy.”
In essence, he is not bothered at all about the possibility of a nuclear catastrophe in Iran, as long as the West remains safe.
The UN agency IAEA, of which he is the Director General, exists to asserten Western interest and hegemony.
However, despite this insight, Iran has rightfully filed a complaint against Grossi and called for UN action following US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities earlier this morning.

True Promise III: Iran launches multi-warhead Kheibar Shekan missile for first time
Iran announced the first-ever launch of its multi-warhead Kheibar Shekan ballistic missile during the twentieth wave of Operation True Promise III in the early hours of Sunday.
In a statement, the public relations department of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said that this phase of the retaliatory operation marked the debut of the third-generation Kheibar Shekan ballistic missile, successfully striking its intended targets.
The twentieth wave came just hours after the United States claimed to have struck three Iranian nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
According to the IRGC, a total of 40 solid- and liquid-fueled missiles were launched at strategic targets across the occupied Palestinian territories on Sunday.
“In this operation, for the first time, the IRGC Aerospace Force deployed the third-generation Kheibar Shekan multi-warhead ballistic missile, employing new and surprising tactics to achieve greater precision, destructive power, and effectiveness,” the statement said.Main targets included Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, the regime’s biological research center, and alternative command-and-control sites.
The missiles employed maneuverable warheads capable of adjusting their trajectory during descent, maintaining guidance until impact, and delivering multiple high-explosive, highly destructive payloads.
Sirens reportedly went off only after the missiles scored direct hits, plunging the occupied territories into chaos, as witnessed in several previous waves of Operation True Promise III.
“We declare that the core capabilities of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran have yet to be activated in this sacred defense,” the IRGC statement concluded.
Iranian armed forces have carried out 20 phases of True Promise III so far, targeting strategic and sensitive military and intelligence sites in the occupied territories.
These operations are in response to the continued Israeli aggression that has claimed the lives of more than 400 Iranians since June 13, including military commanders, scientists, university professors, athletes, school students, etc.

Netanyahu brags that the US strike on Iran was coordinated with zion*st colony, unleashing Iranian missiles
New barrage of Iranian missile attack following Netanyahu statement –
Netanyahu confirmed that US President Trump’s decision to strike Iran’s nuclear sites was made in full coordination with the zion*st colony.
In a televised address following the US assault, Netanyahu thanked Trump, saying. “Your bold decision to target Iran’s nuclear facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United States will change history.”
Netanyahu added that Trump contacted him immediately after the operation. He described Iran’s nuclear program as an “existential threat to Israel” and a danger to global peace.
KAN reported that Netanyahu and Trump held a phone call just hours before the US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
An Israeli security source described the US move as a “dramatic shift and a historic moment,” noting that a state of high alert has been declared in the region in anticipation of an Iranian response.Watching this footage, it defies reason as to why Netanyahu still continues with the unprovoked attacks on Iran. Al Masirah Certainly, Netanyahu lacks knowledge of the art of waging war.
Netanyahu is, by all means, no equal to Iran. The truth is that he knows that.
Hence, Netanyahu relies totally on Trump.
Most people might think that Netanyahu is the leading power or the decision-maker.
Absolutely not! This is once again an American proxy war.
If you are equal, then fight if you are able. If you are fewer, then keep away if you are able. If you are not as good, then flee if you are able.

Trump’s reckless adventurism against Iran turns US bases in West Asia into sitting targets
In a reckless escalation that has pushed American interests in the region to the brink of catastrophe, US President Donald Trump announced Sunday morning that American forces had launched strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites.
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” he claimed.
“All planes are now outside of Iranian airspace. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, #Fordow.”
The assault came after days of inflammatory rhetoric from the increasingly erratic American president, who had repeatedly threatened direct military action against the Islamic Republic.
Earlier, the embattled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had reportedly urged Trump to intervene following heavy losses sustained in Iranian missile and drone strikes.
In a statement issued after the attack, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) denounced the strikes as a “brutal and illegal assault” and pledged to pursue legal action through international channels.
As of now, Iran’s military leadership has yet to issue a formal response, though all eyes are on how Tehran will react to what is a clear declaration of war. Senior Iranian officials had previously warned the United States against entangling itself in Israel’s war against Iran.
In a message on Wednesday, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, reaffirmed that the Iranian nation will “firmly stand against an imposed war.”
“Those with wisdom, who truly understand Iran, its people, and its long history, never speak to this nation with the language of threats. Iran will not yield,” he said in response to Trump’s war rhetoric.
“The Americans must understand—any US military incursion will undoubtedly lead to irreversible consequences.”
Now, all options are reportedly on the table as Iran’s armed forces weigh a decisive response to the flagrant violation of both international law and Iranian sovereignty.Attention has turned to US military bases in the region, many of which could be potential targets for retaliation. While some reports suggest Washington has already evacuated certain bases, several remain operational and deeply vulnerable.
Unlike the occupied Palestinian territories, US military bases across the region are fully exposed to Iranian ballistic missiles, a fact emphasized by Iran’s senior military leadership.Bases as potential targets

Iraqi sources reported that the United States is evacuating its embassy in Baghdad, Iraq – PressTV.
Iran has more than just American air bases and embassies at his disposal to retaliate against!
If Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iran suffer because of the US and the zionist colony, then the ignorant and nonchalant international community must pay the bill.
At present, approximately 50 large oil tankers are attempting to navigate out of the Strait of Hormuz.
The oil industry appears to anticipate that this vital waterway may be closed in the near future.
Consequently, it seems likely that oil prices will surge. PressTV
