Details
The UN Security Council will meet on Monday in connection with Israeli strikes on Iran. The meeting was initiated by Iran, which accuses Israel of violating international law over the early morning strikes on Saturday.
In its appeal to the Security Council, Iran said that Israel's actions were a “serious violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity” of the country and a “gross violation of international law and the UN Charter.
Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon responded that Iran's request is “another attempt to harm Israel, this time in the political arena,” emphasizing the country's right to self-defense. He also called the accusations of violating international law “ridiculous.
“Iran will not be allowed to continue to hide behind its allies, as long as Iran continues to threaten and try to harm us, it will pay the price,” Danon said.
