Amir Saeid Iravani calls on UN Security Council to determine that Israel's 'illegal use of force and armed attacks against Iran are a breach of peace and act of aggression'
Iran on Friday vowed to continue exercising its right to self-defense under the UN Charter "until Israeli aggression is fully and unequivocally" ended.
Iran's envoy to the UN Amir Saeid Iravani told the UN Security Council that Iran's response against Israel complies "fully" with international law, including humanitarian law.
"Iran will continue to exercise this right as long as the Security Council fails to discharge its primary responsibility under the charter, and until the Israeli aggression is fully and unequivocally terminated," Iravani said.
He urged the council to act "now."
"We reiterate our call on the Security Council to determine the Israeli illegal use of force and armed attacks against Iran are a breach of peace and act of aggression," he added.
