Iran’s FM submits letter to UNSC

Abbas Araghchi has submitted a statement to the UN Security Council ahead of a meeting that is reported to be taking place later today on the subject of Israel’s attacks.

Here are the key points Araghchi made:

  • These heinous acts not only constitute a grave violation of Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity as a sovereign Member State of the United Nations, but also constitute acts of aggression and war crimes under international law and international humanitarian law, including the Geneva Conventions.
  • Israel, the world’s most terrorist regime, has crossed all red lines, and the international community must not allow these crimes to go unpunished.
  • The Security Council and the secretary-general must condemn this aggression and take immediate and unequivocal action.
  • Failure to respond will only embolden the aggressor, reward impunity, and fuel further chaos in an already fragile region.
  • The Islamic Republic of Iran reaffirms its inherent right to self-defence, enshrined in Article 51 of the UN Charter, and will respond firmly and proportionately to these unlawful and cowardly acts.
  • The Islamic Republic of Iran will act with determination to protect its sovereignty, its people, and its national security. This right is non-negotiable.
  • Israel will deeply regret this reckless aggression and grave strategic miscalculation.

US moves military assets to Middle East: Report

Two US officials told The Associated Press that the US is shifting military resources, including ships, in the Middle East in response to Israel’s strikes on Iran and a possible retaliatory attack by Tehran.

The US Navy has directed the destroyer USS Thomas Hudner to begin sailing toward the Eastern Mediterranean and has directed a second destroyer to begin moving forward, so it can be available if requested by the White House.

One of the officials says President Donald Trump is meeting with his National Security Council principals to discuss the situation.
