Iran: Israeli attacks systematically target vital infrastructure in Syria 

Iran’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Amir Saeed Erwani affirmed that the Israeli terrorist attacks, which systematically and deliberately target vital infrastructure in Syria, constitute a flagrant violation of international laws.

In a letter to the President of the Security Council and the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Erwani affirmed that the Israeli occupation entity continues its aggressive actions against Syria without any punishment from the international community, especially the United Nations Security Council.

Erwani said: “During recent months, the Israeli entity has openly violated humanitarian laws, and has systematically and deliberately targeted vital infrastructure in Syria, including Damascus and Aleppo international airports, which are vital routes for humanitarian aid and relief efforts after the recent earthquake. Syria’s vital infrastructure has been damaged significantly.”

He added, “Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity must be respected, and actions that undermine it must not be tolerated. Due to the Israeli aggression and the serious consequences of these illegal and criminal acts on regional and international peace and security, the international community, especially the Security Council, must take decisive measures to put an end to these violations, and hold the Israeli entity accountable for all its actions that contravene international laws.”

Erwani called on the Security Council to abandon the double standard policy and fulfill its legal duties, through the clear condemnation of the Israeli occupation entity’s continued violation of the basic principles of international law and the Charter of the United Nations.
