WANA (Jul 23) – Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, who is currently in New York to attend two United Nations Security Council sessions and conduct diplomatic consultations, convened a meeting with the ten non-permanent members of the Security Council at Iran’s Permanent Mission to the UN.

 

During the meeting, key issues were discussed, including the recent acts of aggression by the Israeli regime and the United States against the country.

 

The discussions also covered the current state of Iran’s relations with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in light of recent armed attacks on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities, as well as matters related to UN Security Council Resolution 2231.

 

On June 13, the Israeli regime, in a blatant violation of international law and Iran’s national sovereignty, launched a military attack targeting areas in Tehran and other cities, including the country’s nuclear facilities. This terrorist act killed several Iranian scientists, military personnel, and civilians. This action did not go unpunished, as Iran’s Supreme Leader stated, and the Israeli regime faced severe retaliatory strikes.

 

In the continuation of this aggression, the United States also joined Israel’s war against Iran by launching direct attacks early Sunday (June 22) on Iran’s nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. This aggression also faced a strong response, in which Iran struck the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. This base is the headquarters of the U.S. Air Force and its largest strategic asset in West Asia.

 

Finally, on June 24, the U.S. President announced a ceasefire agreement between Iran and the Israeli regime. The Islamic Republic of Iran, while stressing that it did not start the war, declared that if the Israeli regime halts its illegal aggression, Iran also has no intention of continuing its retaliatory actions.
