TEHRAN – Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs has announced that Iran is preparing to take legal steps to inform both the global public and international organizations about recent hostile actions of Israel.
Kazem Gharibabadi emphasized that these efforts aim to increase pressure on Israel to answer for its recent aggressions which are considered as serious violations of international law. He noted that Iran’s aim has always been to de-escalate the tensions across the region.
Gharibabadi condemned Israel's recent actions against Iran, describing them as direct acts of aggression that breach the United Nations Charter. He confirmed that Iran had promptly reported the incident to the UN Secretary-General and the Security Council, highlighting the urgency with which Iran views these actions.
Gharibabadi noted that Iran is exploring several strategies to respond to these provocations, emphasizing that the legal dimension is particularly vital. He explained that legal action serves not only to hold Israel accountable but also to raise international awareness and engage organizations worldwide to recognize and respond to these acts.
In the early hours of Saturday, Israel targeted the military installations in Iran’s Tehran, Khuzestan, and Ilam provinces in flagrant violation of international law and the UN Charter.
On Saturday, Iran’s Air Defense Base issued a statement asserting that its air defenses successfully intercepted and countered Israeli acts of aggression. The statement mentioned that although some limited damage was sustained in certain areas, a full assessment is ongoing to determine the extent of the impact.
Gharibabadi’s statements reflect Iran’s broader approach to confront the repeated Israeli provocations, which he said encompass not just military, but also political, diplomatic, and legal realms. “Our goal is to heighten international pressure on Israel and ensure it faces consequences for its actions,” he added.
