Iran Vows to Defend its Territorial Integrity with All Might

Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi says that Iran's armed forces will defend the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity with all might and by all means.

Speaking in Geneva on Friday, the top Iranian diplomat said that Iran has been subjected to an aggression that cannot be justified in any way, and the justification for the aggression is equal to complicity, The Caspian Post reports, citing Iranian media.

"We were supposed to meet with the Americans on June 15 to reach a very promising agreement on our nuclear program" he said elsewhere in his remarks.

He went on to say that attacking nuclear facilities are a major war crime, especially given the risk of environmental and public health disaster from the release of radiological material.

"I stand before this prestigious institution to remind that every member and observer of the Human Rights Council has a legal and moral duty to stand against this great injustice. The Israeli regime has launched an unprovoked aggression against Iran, which is a clear violation of the fourth paragraph of Article 2 of the United Nations Charter and is a bold challenge against all the principles and rules on which this council is based."

He underlined that Iran, as one of the founding members of the United Nations system, rightly expects each UN member countries to stand by justice, the rule of law, and the fundamental principles of humanity and morality."Iran has been brutally invaded. This clear fact must not be allowed to be distorted by Israel and its supporters."
