Đại diện Iran tại Liên Hợp Quốc: Mỹ và Israel cố ý tấn công dân thường và cơ sở hạ tầng dân dụng cấu thành tội ác chiến tranh

Iranian Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Iravani, said on the 6th that the US and Israel deliberately attacked civilians and civilian infrastructure within Iran, with densely populated residential areas and important civilian infrastructure becoming targets of attack, “these acts constitute clear war crimes and crimes against humanity.” Iravani issued a statement to the media saying that so far, more than 20 schools and 13 medical facilities in Iran have been attacked. Several sports and entertainment facilities in Tehran and other cities have also been targeted, resulting in the death of 18 female athletes and about 100 injuries. Since the US and Israel launched military strikes against Iran on February 28, at least 1,332 Iranian civilians have been killed, including over 180 children, and thousands have been injured. Iravani reiterated that Iran will continue to exercise its right to self-defense under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, “until the invasion and attack cease.” Iran’s response is “legitimate, necessary, and proportionate,” and targets only the military objectives of the invaders. He emphasized that Iran does not seek war, but will never give up its sovereignty, and will take all necessary measures to defend its people, territory, and independence. (Xinhua)
