The Iranian Armed Forces will not hesitate to defend Iran’s sovereignty with full strength and in the manner they deem appropriate.
A Flagrant & Deliberate Act of Aggression Perpetrated by the Zionist Regime Against Iran. Why it Matters? The Islamic Republic of Iran, has been unjustly attacked by a criminal and malicious regime. On Friday the 13th of June in the early morning hours, the occupying and rogue Zionist regime violated the territorial integrity and national sovereignty of Iran, attacking several locations, including residential areas in Tehran and other cities across the country.
A swathe of the most patriotic servants of the nation – including military commanders and scientists- those who defended Iran’s dignity, sovereignty, and innovation in science and technology– along with other innocent civilians, were martyred.
In accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter, Iran reserves the legitimate and legal right to respond to this aggression. The Iranian Armed Forces will not hesitate to defend Iran’s sovereignty with full strength and in the manner they deem appropriate.
One of the main targets of these attacks was the Natanz nuclear facility, which is under the full supervision and safeguards of the IAEA. Attacking such facilities not only directly threatens the lives of Iranian civilians, but also risks an irreparable radiological disaster in the region. A deliberate attack on facilities under safeguards is a clear violation of the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material, as well as the legal obligations of the Islamic Republic of Iran under the Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement.
Such attacks challenge the foundation of the global non-proliferation regime and the credibility of the IAEA’s mission. Continuation of this trend could become a dangerous pattern for other actors and pose a serious threat to global collective security. It’s good to know.
