Iranian ambassador tells Sky News: 'This is about self defence'

 

Highlights of interview:

 

• The Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the UK described the Zionist regime's aggressive act as a clear violation of the United Nations Charter
• With this criminal act, the Zionist regime added another back page to its history of violating international law
• We are currently witnessing an aggressive act against Iran, a a member of the United Nations. This is while the Zionist regime has a history of committing numerous crimes against people, especially Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, including war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide
• Now, once again, with the attack on Iran and its people, we are witnessing another crime of aggression. This regime is founded on terrorism and violations of various principles of international law, and today, two international judicial bodies are investigating the crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes committed by this regime.
• We are defending ourselves and all of Iranian actions in response to this aggression are within the framework of the legitimate principle of self-defense and based on the rules of international law
• The Zionist regime has committed countless crimes. If President Trump is truly serious about maintaining international peace and security, he should tell Netanyahu not to attack. Netanyahu is a criminal and must be punished.
• Iran has always welcomed diplomacy and sought a peaceful solution to its peaceful nuclear activities. We have stated that our priority is diplomacy. But unfortunately, right in the middle of the negotiation process, Netanyahu committed another crime against the Iranian people
• We are now exercising our right to self-defense. If the aggressive actions stop, negotiations will be considered.
• The UK's non-involvement in this aggression is a positive thing. Prime Minister Starmer and the Foreign Secretary Lammy have repeatedly stressed this position, but it is crucial that the UK, as a member of the Security Council, upholds its responsibility to maintain international peace and security.
