Iran has declared its right to respond to what it describes as Israeli 'criminal aggression' following an earlier attack on multiple targets in three of its provinces. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi communicated this stance in a letter to the United Nations Secretary-General on Saturday, calling for an urgent Security Council meeting. Iran's position is aligned with the principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and international law, asserting its legal and legitimate right to retaliate.
