Trump slaps 30% tariffs on EU, Mexico
Investing.com -- Iran’s U.N. Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani told the United Nations Security Council on Monday that Iran’s strikes on Israel are acts of self-defense.
In a letter to the council, Iravani described the strikes as "proportionate defensive operations directed exclusively at military objectives and associated infrastructure."
The ambassador also warned that any third countries cooperating with Israel’s strikes on Iran "makes them complicit in the legal responsibility and consequences of this crisis."
Iravani’s letter was submitted under Article 51 of the U.N. Charter, which requires the 15-member Security Council to be immediately informed when a state takes action in self-defense against an armed attack.
The U.N. Charter’s Article 51 recognizes the right of member states to defend themselves if attacked, with the requirement that such actions be reported to the Security Council.
