Islamic group OIC strongly condemns Israeli aggression against Iran
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has strongly condemned the Israeli aerial aggression against Iran last month, calling it a serious breach of the country’s sovereignty.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the group said the aggressive actions of the Zionist regime constitute a clear violation of international law and the UN Charter, as well as a flagrant infringement of Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Last month, Israeli warplanes used the space available to the U.S. military in Iraq to fire long-range air-to-air missiles at military installations in Iran’s Tehran, Khuzestan, and Ilam provinces, martyring four Iranian army officers and a civilian.
The OIC said Iran and other affected countries reserve the inherent right to protect their sovereignty, territorial integrity, security and citizens according to international law and the UN Charter.
The organization reiterated that the ongoing Israeli atrocities in the occupied Palestinian territories, particularly in Gaza, Lebanon, as well as its malicious activities elsewhere in West Asia threaten regional peace, security and stability.
The group finally called for the immediate and effective intervention of the UN Security Council as the main body responsible for maintaining international peace and security.
Iranian officials have said the Islamic Republic will definitely respond to the recent Israeli act of aggression.
