PTC News Desk: Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi on Sunday condemned the precision strike launched by the United States targetting country's nuclear facilities calling it a grave violation of international law, the UN charter and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
In a strong worded statement Araghchi described US strikes as criminal behaviour for attacking what he calls peaceful nuclear installations.
“The events this morning are outrageous and will have everlasting consequences. Each and every member of the UN must be alarmed over this extremely dangerous, lawless and criminal behavior,” Iranian Foreign Minister said in a post.
The United States, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, has committed a grave violation of the UN Charter, international law and the NPT by attacking Iran's peaceful nuclear installations.
