Iran\u2019s Foreign Ministry has stated that the country considers responding to what it described as \u201cbrutal military aggression\u201d by the United States and Israel to be an inherent right of self-defence under international law. In an official statement released by the ministry and cited by international media outlets and government communication channels, Tehran indicated that its actions were framed as defensive measures intended to counter ongoing hostilities. The statement explained that Iran would continue to take action until the alleged aggression ceases or until the United Nations Security Council fulfills its responsibilities by identifying the parties responsible. According to the ministry, international legal frameworks prohibit states from allowing their territory to be used\u2014directly or indirectly\u2014for actions that cause harm or damage to another state. Iranian officials further stated that the country had undertaken what they characterized as necessary and proportionate defensive operations targeting United States bases, while also emphasizing that repeated warnings had been issued prior to such actions. The ministry stressed that these measures should not be interpreted as hostility toward other countries in the region, highlighting that Tehran does not view its actions as directed against neighboring states. The position was formally communicated through the Foreign Ministry\u2019s statement, which serves as the primary source outlining Iran\u2019s legal and diplomatic framing of the situation.<\/p>\n
The Foreign Ministry\u2019s communication also highlighted Iran\u2019s expectation that the United Nations Security Council should fulfill its mandate by assessing the circumstances and identifying those responsible for the alleged aggression. Iranian officials indicated in the statement that the continuation of defensive actions would depend on whether the reported attacks cease or whether the Security Council takes action in accordance with international law. The statement reiterated that states are obligated to prevent their territories from being used to harm other nations, a principle Tehran cited to explain its legal interpretation of the situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
