Iran has reserved the right to respond to an attack that injured its ambassador to Lebanon, citing its rights under international law, according to a statement by the Iranian mission to the United Nations on Wednesday.

The statement was addressed to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the president of the UN General Assembly, and Slovenia's mission, which holds the UN Security Council presidency for September.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran will duly follow up on the attack against its ambassador in Lebanon, which resulted in his injury, and reserves its rights under international law to take required measures deemed necessary to respond to such a heinous crime and violation," the statement read.

Iran further urged the UN to condemn "Israel" for its terrorist actions that not only targeted its diplomatic envoy but also violated Lebanon’s sovereignty and endangered civilians.

"The UN Secretary-General and the Security Council must condemn unequivocally Israel’s terrorist action and heinous crime against the head of Iran’s diplomatic mission in Lebanon, as well as violations of Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and attacks and targeting of Lebanese civilians," the Iranian mission stressed.

Since Tuesday, Lebanon has been hit by a wave of terrorist attacks carried out by the Israeli regime, targeting various devices, including pagers and batteries.

The latest update shows the death toll has now risen to 14 martyrs, as per the Lebanese Health Ministry. 

Western news agencies have justified the aggression on the basis that the attack is intended to target members of Hezbollah. The reality, however, is that the devices were used by workers of a wide range of professions, including teachers, health workers and industrial workers. 

Earlier today, the Slovenian mission told Sputnik the UN Security Council is set to convene on Friday to discuss the terrorist attack on Lebanon.

"The presidency [currently held by the Slovenian mission] confirms the meeting at 3:00 p.m. No details on the format though," it said.
