US EditionIran’s ‘proportionate response’ to US strike will be set by military, envoy tells UN
- On June 23, Iran's UN Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani declared that Iran's military will decide when and how to respond, as well as the extent of its reaction, to recent attacks by the US and Israel.
- This statement followed a US air strike overnight on June 21 that targeted Iran's nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan to degrade uranium enrichment capabilities.
- Russia condemned the strikes as a dangerous escalation violating international law and warned last week that US involvement in Israel's war in Iran would have unpredictable negative consequences.
- US Ambassador Dorothy Camille Shea said any Iranian attack on Americans or bases would face devastating retaliation, while intelligence detected Iran-backed militants preparing attacks in Iraq and Syria.
- These developments risk further destabilizing the Middle East, as Iran reserves its right to self-defense and accuses Israel of sabotaging diplomatic efforts at the UN Security Council.
