Seyed Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s Foreign Minister, in a letter addressed to António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, and James Kariuki, President of the UN Security Council, strongly condemned the coordinated and extensive armed aggression by the United States and the Israeli regime against Iran’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity.   In the letter, the Iranian Foreign Minister described the attacks by the Zionist regime and the United States on several defense installations and civilian sites in various Iranian cities as a blatant violation of Iran’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity. He added that the U.S. and Israeli Regime's airstrikes constitute a clear breach of Article 2, Paragraph 4 of the UN Charter and represent an unmistakable armed aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran.   Araghchi emphasized that, in response to this aggressive act, the Islamic Republic of Iran reserves its inherent and legal right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter. The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will utilize all necessary defensive capabilities and measures to counter this criminal aggression and deter hostile actions. Consequently, all bases, facilities, and assets of hostile forces in the region are considered legitimate military targets. Iran will exercise this inherent right decisively until the aggression is completely and unequivocally halted.   The Foreign Minister stressed that the full and direct responsibility for all consequences resulting from these unlawful actions, including any escalation of tensions, lies with the Israeli and U.S. aggressors. Given the serious and widespread implications of the armed aggression against Iran for regional and international peace and security, the Islamic Republic of Iran underscores the primary responsibility of the United Nations, and particularly the Security Council, to take immediate action in response to the violation of international peace and security resulting from the blatant military aggression by the United States and the Israeli regime against Iran.   Araghchi also called for the urgent convening of a Security Council emergency session to address the aggressive actions of the U.S. and Israeli regimes, which pose a real and serious threat to international peace and security, and to take necessary and immediate measures to halt the illegal use of force and hold the aggressors accountable.   The Iranian Foreign Minister urged all UN member states committed to upholding international peace and security to strongly condemn this act of aggression and to take immediate collective action to confront these attacks, which undeniably constitute an unprecedented threat to regional and global peace and security. Finally, Araghchi requested that this letter, copies of which have been sent to the foreign ministers of all UN member states, be officially published as a UN Security Council document.
