00:00On Friday, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Argachi denounced the Israeli aggressions
00:04at the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva.
00:08In this regard, Argachi explained that this is an unjust war imposed on the Iranian people
00:13since the early hours of June 13th, when Israel perpetrated a mix of unlawful and criminal
00:19operations against off-duty military personnel, university professors and ordinary people.
00:25Iranians have been killed and injured following Israel's surprise attacks on residential areas,
00:31public infrastructure, hospitals and health centers.
00:34He described the situation as a betrayal of diplomacy and an unprecedented blow to the
00:40foundation of international law and the UN system.
00:44We need to take action now, he said.
00:46Otherwise, the entire UN-based international legal system will crumble.
00:55Iran is under a merciless act of aggression.
01:00This is crystal clear fact, must not be allowed to be twisted upside down by Israel and its
01:06backers.
01:08Israel aggression on Iran cannot and must not be justified by any legal or moral standards.
01:14Any justification for this unjust and criminal war would be tantamount to complicity.
01:19Iran is defending itself against the barbaric aggression.
01:26We are entitled, tasked and determined to defend our territorial integrity, national sovereignty
01:33and security with all force.
01:37This is our inherent right.
01:39Our peaceful nuclear facilities have also been targeted, despite their being under full monitoring
01:46of IAEA, and despite the fact that attacking such facilities are absolutely banned under international law.
01:56Israel attacks on nuclear facilities are grave war crimes, given also the danger of environmental
02:02and health catastrophe as a result of radiological leakage.
