'Israel' has crossed every red line: Iranian FM Araghchi
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi issued a stark warning on June 13, stating that "Israel has crossed every red line" through its aggressive actions against Iran, and he characterized the recent Israeli attacks on Iran as nothing short of "a declaration of war."
In a letter addressed to the UN Security Council and the UN Secretary-General, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called for an emergency meeting to address what he described as "Israel’s" military aggression against Iran, emphasizing that "the matter must be dealt with immediately."
He urged the Security Council to uphold its responsibilities under the UN Charter by condemning the attack and taking prompt, decisive measures to ensure accountability for "Israel."
