The Iranian Foreign Ministry denounces Israel's aggressive actions against certain military installations in Iran, characterizing them as a blatant infringement of international law and the United Nations Charter.

In a statement issued on Saturday, it is asserted that the Islamic Republic of Iran, invoking its inherent right to self-defense as enshrined in Article 51 of the UN Charter, believes it is both entitled and obligated to respond to foreign acts of aggression, the Tehran Times reported.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterates that Iran, reminding each member state of their obligations under the United Nations, the “Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide,” and the “Four Geneva Conventions of 1949,” urges immediate and collective action against egregious violations of international law, the UN Charter, the Genocide Convention, and international humanitarian law, all of which represent serious threats to international peace and security.

The statement underscores the urgent need for the international community to mobilize swiftly to halt the "genocide and militaristic actions of the Zionist regime."
