Iran calls for UNSC emergency meeting on Israeli attack

In an official letter to the president of the UN Security Council on June 13, the Iranian mission called for an emergency UNSC meeting in response to the Israeli regime’s brazen act of aggression against Iran.

Condemning the Zionist regime’s strikes on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities and senior military officials that have been carried out with the support of the US, the UN mission requested a decisive action by the UNSC in response to the Israeli regime’s criminal and provocative attacks.

In a reckless and illegal action that had been planned in advance, the Zionist regime has carried out a series of coordinated military strikes on Iran’s nuclear centers and civilian infrastructures, the mission said in the letter.

Iran’s mission also denounced the Israeli attack as a clear violation of the UN Charter and the fundamental principles of the international law, warning that its dangerous consequences jeopardize regional and international peace and security.

Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri, Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Major General Hossein Salami, Commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters Major General Gholam Ali Rashid, and at least six Iranian nuclear scientists were among the martyrs of the Israeli strikes on Friday morning.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei has warned the Zionist regime that it will receive a severe punishment for the strike, saying, “With this crime, the Zionist regime has prepared for itself a bitter, painful fate, which it will definitely see.”
