Iran calls for emergency Security Council meeting after US strikes

"In accordance with the UN Charter and its provisions allowing a legitimate response in self-defense, Iran reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interest, and people," Iran's foreign minister said in reaction to US attacks.

"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. The events this morning are outrageous and will have everlasting consequences," Abbas Araghchi said.

"Each and every member of the UN must be alarmed over this extremely dangerous, lawless and criminal behavior."

It is too early to know exactly what the results of the US strike in Iran are, but “what is certain is that Iran’s nuclear program has been set back by years," Axios reported citing a senior Israeli official.

Following the US strikes, if a good agreement is reached with Iran, it would be “the end of the story” for Iran’s nuclear program, the official was quoted as saying.

If no nuclear agreement is reached and if Iran tries to rebuild its nuclear facilities, Israel will strike again, Axios added citing the official.

"By attacking Iran's nuclear facilities, Trump admitted that his proxy force (Israel) has failed," said Nour News, an Iranian outlet affiliated with Supreme National Security Council.

"His reckless gamble for a political win resulted in nothing but the official acknowledgment of Israel’s defeat, the acceleration of Iran’s nuclear program, and a heavy cost for the US. Donald the Gambler—you’ve suffered a crushing loss."

“The Islamic Resistance Movement condemns in the strongest terms the blatant American aggression," the Iran-backed Palestinian group said. "This brutal aggression constitutes a dangerous escalation, a blind pursuit of the rogue Zionist occupation's agendas."

"We consider it a glaring example of the policy of imposing hegemony through the logic of force, an aggression based on the law of the jungle," Hamas said in a statement.

"We affirm our solidarity with our brothers in the Islamic Republic, leadership and people alike, and our complete confidence in Iran's ability to defend its sovereignty and its people's interests, and to confront this aggression."
