Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi condemned the US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, warning that such “criminal behaviour" will have “everlasting consequences" and that Tehran reserves all options to retaliate.

“The United States, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, has committed a grave violation of the UN Charter, international law and the NPT by attacking Iran’s peaceful nuclear installations," he said on X.

“The events this morning are outrageous and will have everlasting consequences. Each and every member of the UN must be alarmed over this extremely dangerous, lawless and criminal behaviour," said Araghchi in his message.

The Iranian minister warned that Iran “reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interests, and people" as per the UN Charter and its provisions allowing a legitimate response in self-defence, hinting at a possible retaliation for the US attacks. FOLLOW LIVE UPDATES
