Iran Press/ Iran news: Earlier, the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the United Nations also announced that Iran's military action was carried out based on Article 51 of the United Nations Charter regarding legitimate defense in response to the aggression of the Zionist regime on the diplomatic places of our country in Damascus.
In this phone conversation, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian stated: "Due to the inefficiency of the UN Security Council in condemning the Israeli regime's attack on the Iranian embassy in Damascus, as a result, the only option left before Iran was legitimate self-defense and punishment of the Zionist regime."
Amir-Abdollhian said: "Although the Islamic Republic of Iran was able to carry out this operation in a wider radius, it only targeted that part of the military positions of the Zionist regime from where the attack on Tehran's embassy in Damascus had taken place."
Iran's top diplomat added: "The security of the region is essential to us, but the Zionist regime has been massacring and genociding defenseless children and women in Gaza for six months, and the US and its allies will not stop it. Amir-Abdollhian asked if 6 months of war, crimes and genocide of Israel were not enough and when the international community act to end this genocide and crimes.

Expressing his satisfaction with the position of the Islamic Republic of Iran to stop further operations against the Zionist regime, he said: "We also urge Israel not to retaliate to reduce tensions in the region in favor of establishing peace."
