Iran affirms right to self-defense in face of Israeli aggression

Tehran Times – The Iranian Foreign Ministry released a statement late on Tuesday night concerning the defensive measures taken by its armed forces against the Zionist regime of Israel.

On Tuesday, October 1, during Operation True Promise II, Iran’s armed forces launched over 200 ballistic missiles at the occupied Palestinian territories in retaliation to the assassinations of Iranian military commanders and the secretary-general of Hezbollah.

“In accordance with the right to self-defense as outlined in Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran have responded to the aggressive actions of the Zionist regime,” said the statement from the Foreign Ministry. 

The statement noted that these actions include violations of Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as the assassination of the head of the political office of Hamas in Tehran, who was an official guest of Iran, alongside the martyrdom of the secretary-general of Hezbollah of Lebanon and General Nilfroushan, a senior Iranian military advisor in Beirut. 

“In retaliation, a series of missiles were fired at military and security installations of the Zionist regime on the evening of Tuesday, October 1,” the statement added.

The Foreign Ministry further stated that the Islamic Republic is fully prepared to undertake additional defensive measures, if necessary, to safeguard its legitimate interests and uphold its territorial integrity and sovereignty against any acts of military aggression or unlawful use of force, leaving no room for doubt in its commitment.
