UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said today he “strongly condemns” Iran’s attack on Israel, which represents a “serious escalation” and called for an “immediate cessation of hostilities.”
“I am deeply alarmed by the very real risk of devastating regional escalation,” he said.
Guterres called on “all parties to exercise maximum self-control” to avoid any actions that could lead to a major confrontation “on multiple fronts in the Middle East.”
Through its mission to the UN, Iran invoked the United Nations Charter and in particular Article 51 to justify its attack on Israel, which is considered “legitimate defence”.
Via X, the mission wrote that today’s attack, using drones and later ballistic missiles, “is a response to the Zionist regime’s aggression against our diplomatic delegation in Damascus.”
“Iran’s military action, carried out in accordance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter regarding self-defense, was a response to the Zionist regime’s aggression against our diplomatic headquarters in Damascus.
“The matter can be considered completed. However, if the Israeli regime makes another mistake, Iran’s response will be much more severe.
“This is a conflict between Iran and the rogue Israeli regime that the US MUST STAY AWAY FROM!”
Iran is referring to the April 1 attack attributed to Israel on its consulate in Damascus, which killed seven Iranians (as well as six Syrians), including several senior Iranian Revolutionary Guard officials.
It was the Revolutionary Guard, an elite military unit in Iran, that claimed responsibility for today’s launch of ballistic missiles against Israel, targeting “the interior of the occupied territories and positions of the Zionist regime,” according to Iranian state news agency IRNA. . .
According to the American newspaper The New York Times, the specific targets of the attack are the Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan Heights and the Israeli Air Force base in the Negev Desert. (EFE)
