UN Envoy Warns of Iran’s Response to Israeli Threats
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations dismissed the Zionist regime’s rhetoric of military action against Tehran, saying the Islamic Republic is ready for a crushing response to aany threat.
“Recently, the Israeli regime has not only intensified its provocative and hawkish remarks against the Islamic Republic of Iran, but is also actively planning to carry out its hostile threats against Iran,” Majid Takht Ravanchi said in a letter to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on Saturday.
He referred to the top Israeli military official’s January 26 “false” claims about Iran’s peaceful nuclear program as the latest case of such anti-Iran threats, and said, “In addition to their current plans against Iran, the Israeli military forces are also preparing operational plans to develop them for the next year, as such plans must be ‘on the table’.”
The ambassador described such threats as a “blatant violation of the Article 2 of the UN Charter”, and stressed that the international community must give an appropriate response given the “dark record of the regime in attacking regional countries”.
Takht Ravanchi warned about any Israeli military adventurism against Iran, adding, “We reserve our natural right to defense, and will give a decisive response to any threat or incorrect move by the Israeli regime.”
“It is perfectly clear that the Israeli regime must shoulder full responsibility for its unbridled and incorrect moves,” he warned, calling on the Security Council to confront Israel’s “destabilizing” policies and “hawkish” moves, Press TV reported.
