Baku, Azerbaijan, June 22. Iran will never
compromise on its territorial integrity, sovereignty, or
independence and will respond with reciprocal measures, Foreign
Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi declared at a press conference in
Istanbul, Trend reports.
Speaking to reporters, Araghchi said Tehran remains firmly
committed to protecting its land, government, and people, and will
use all possible options and means to defend its interests.
He also criticized former U.S. President Donald Trump, saying
that while Trump came to office promising to end wars in the region
and around the world, he ultimately betrayed those promises by
attacking Iran and pursuing a hostile policy.
“The U.S. military strike on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities
is a blatant violation of international law and established
principles,” Araghchi stated, adding that the action constitutes an
act of aggression under Article 2 of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation
Treaty (NPT) and violates UN Security Council Resolution 2231.
Araghchi said Iran expects the UN Security Council, the UN
Secretary-General, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA),
and other relevant international bodies to take appropriate and
timely action in response to the attacks.
