Iran has called on the International Community and the Security Council to condemn the repeated Israeli attacks on Syria, the latest of which took place last Monday and targeted the vicinity of Damascus, leading to the martyrdom of two Iranian advisors.
Iran’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Majid Takht Ravanchi said in Iran’s letters to the UN secretary general and to the Security Council that these Israeli attacks are terrorist and criminal and the Israeli entity is fully responsible for all the consequences of such criminal acts, urging the international community to decisively condemn these crimes.
He stressed that Iran reserves its inherent right to self-defense, under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, and to respond to such criminal acts whenever it deems appropriate. He warned the Israeli entity about taking further adventurist and malevolent measures.
The letter reminded that “the Iranian advisory forces are present in Syria at the Syrian government’s official request and invitation to provide advisory services to assist the Syrian army in combating terrorism, specifically the terrorist group ISIS (Daesh).
