Iran to take all necessary measures to hold those who assassinated Khodaei accountable: Takht-Ravanchi

Uncategorised

Iran’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Majid Takht-Ravanchi has stressed that Iran will take all the necessary measures to protect its people and interests and will use all available mechanisms to hold the perpetrators of the terrorist crime of assassinating former IRGC member, Colonel Hassan Sayyad Khodaei, accountable.

Takht-Ravanchi made the remarks in a Wednesday letter to Secretary General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres.

He said that preliminary assessments and available basic evidence showed that the terrorist attack has been carried out in line with the systematic assassinations of innocent Iranian citizens and scientists by certain regimes with the purpose of advancing their own illegitimate foreign policy goals in the region.

 He noted that the continuation of such acts of state terrorism has vividly challenged the rule of law and created increasing concerns for the international community.

He stressed that international silence over this provocative act, that violates all international laws and norms, encourages perpetrators and the masterminds of this terror act to continue with their crimes.

“In line with its responsibilities to genuinely fight terrorism and in a non-discriminatory manner, the UN is expected to condemn this atrocious act,” the Iranian envoy added.

Takht-Ravanchi pointed out that Colonel Hassan Sayyad Khodaei played a significant role in the fight against ISIS (Daesh) and other terrorist organizations in the region.
