Russian envoy to the UN Vasily Nebenzia condemned Israel's fresh air strikes on Iran's atomic facilities.Speaking at an extraordinary gathering of the UN safety Council on Friday, the diplomat said that West Jerusalem was acting unpunished with the support of the West.
Israel launched attacks on uranium enrichment facilities in Iran on Friday and killed respective elder commanders and scientists in targeted killing operations, claiming that these moves were ahead steps to halt Iran from gaining atomic weapons.Iran, who denies the implementation of the military atomic program, responded by firing multiple ballistic rocket volleys into Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv.Nebenzia said that Israel seemingly intended to sabotage the U.S.-Iran indirect atomic talks to be resumed on Sunday.Tehran declared that the attacks effectively ended all diplomatic activities."It is simply a totally unprovoked attack, whatever Israel claims, and it is simply a blatant violation of the United Nations Charter and global law" said Nebenzia."The work for all the consequences of these actions rests entirely on Israeli leaders and those who tolerate them".He noted that Iran has the right to defend itself and pointed out Tehran's earlier commitment to the 2015 atomic agreement backed by the UN, which the US abandoned during president Donald Trump's first term.
The muslim Republic denied accusations of a secret breach of contract at the time, but has since increased enrichment of uranium.USA and their allies “they did everything possible to fuel the escalation and fundamentally instigated it” – Nebenzia argued, adding that support for the West "invited Israel to take extremist steps".
He besides raised an alert regarding the hazard of radiation leaks from the Iranian facilities he assaulted, and warned that "No military solution may be justified or feasible."Iranian UN envoy Amir-Saeid Iravani described Israel's attacks as "a frightening show of calculated aggression"who "was equivalent to a declaration of war."
He called for global action to disarm the unreported atomic arsenal of the judaic state, which West Jerusalem neither confirmed nor denied.Israeli envoy Danny Danon defended the raids, saying his country was "democracy in siege"that worked to “to prevent its destruction” by the muslim Republic.
He called for advice to consider the possible consequences if Iranian missiles were equipped with atomic warheads.
