Iran's firm response will last as long as attacks do: Envoy
Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations has warned of firm self-defense as long as the US-Israeli aggression continues.
Speaking to reporters at the UN Security Council, Amir Saeid Iravani said that Iran’s military actions will target only the combatant forces of hostile powers.
“We do not target civilians or the interests of neighboring countries,” he added.
Iravani noted that Iran is not seeking war or escalation, but will not relinquish its sovereignty.
“While the violation persists, Iran will act swiftly and resolutely to protect itself,” he asserted.
The IRGC and the Iranian Army have been carrying out retaliatory attacks on US military assets in regional countries and on targets in the Israeli-occupied territories since Saturday when the US and Israel started an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran.
