TEHRAN – In a telephone conversation on Sunday, Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araguchi and British Foreign Secretary David Lamie discussed the latest developments following the US military strike on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities.
During the call, Aragut strongly condemned the US attack as a blatant violation of international law, describing it as an offensive act of attack on Iran’s sovereignty and a serious violation of the UN Charter and global non-enhancing norms.
Ramy expressed regret over the incident and firmly denied Britain’s involvement or cooperation in the strike. He emphasized the need for de-escalation and urged continued diplomatic efforts to resolve regional tensions.
The US effectively joined Prime Minister Islamin Netanyahu’s ongoing war on the Islamic Republic early on Sunday (June 22).
In another statement issued after the attack, Aragut reiterated Iran’s right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter, stressing that the Islamic Republic reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interests and citizens.
