Araghchi says US attacks on Iran violate international law

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi argues in an opinion article for Japan's Kyodo News that the US-Israeli attacks on Iran breach international law.

According to Tribune India, the piece is titled 'The UN Charter Under Fire: Why US Attacks on Iran Violate International Law'. In it, Araghchi says the attacks violate the prohibition on the use of force and Iran's sovereignty. He asserts Iran's right to self-defence under the UN Charter.

Press TV reports that he warned that failing to punish aggressors endangers all nations. Iran International summarises him as questioning the legality of attacks based on perceived future threats.

The article sets out Iran's legal position. It does not announce any new policy.
