Iran foreign ministry issues sharp retort to UN Secretary-General's statement
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baqaei on Sunday called on United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to urge all parties involved in the Iran war to stop allowing the United States to use their territories as what he called "launchpads for aggression against Iran".
Guterres had earlier released a statement expressing his concern over "the serious escalation and renewed military confrontations in the Gulf," including the Iranian attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, the attacks by the US on Iran, and the attacks by Iran on targets in the neighboring nations.
Baqaei responded to the statement claiming that the escalation was not a military confrontation.
"It is the continuation of a blatant and unprovoked act of aggression initiated on 28 February by the United States and Israel," he said on X.
The spokesman continued to say that Tehran does not "attack."
"Iran's strikes on US military bases and assets stationed in the southern Persian Gulf constitute a legitimate and lawful exercise of its inherent right to self-defense under international law," he said.
He also attempted to correct Guterres, insisting on the use of the term "Persian Gulf."
"BTW, it is 'Persian Gulf'; please be loyal to the UN directives (notably on 18 August 1994, and 14 May 1999) mandating the use of the full term "Persian Gulf" in all UN texts," Baqaei remarked.
Baqaei said that it was "far from responsible" to blame Tehran for "defending its sovereignty while failing to hold the aggressors accountable for their egregious violation of international law."
