Iran expressed its approval on Tuesday of the emergency ministerial statement issued by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), which condemned "the Israeli occupation's aggression against Iranian sovereignty and territory, in violation of international law and the United Nations Charter."
Foreign Ministry Statement:
The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated: "The emergency meeting of GCC foreign ministers demonstrates the region's shared understanding of the unprecedented threat posed by the Israeli occupation's violations of international law. It underscores the urgent need for regional and global action to halt the war being waged against Iran."
Background:
Since early Friday, Tehran and other Iranian cities have faced extensive attacks by Israeli forces, prompting Iran to retaliate with a major missile strike on occupied territories.
(Note: The translation maintains diplomatic precision, using "Israeli occupation" in line with Iranian official terminology, while "war being waged against Iran" reflects the government's framing. The UN Charter reference is preserved for legal context.)
