US envoy to UN says the attack on Iran's nuclear sites was consistent with UN charter.
"These strikes, in accordance with the inherent right to self-defense, collective self- defense, consistent with the UN Charter, aimed to mitigate the threat posed by Iran to Israel, the region, and to more broadly international peace and security," Ambassador Rosemary Anne DiCarlo told Security Council on Tuesday.
"Following this historic operation, President Trump immediately coordinated a ceasefire between Israel and Iran," she added.
"We must all urge Iran to seize this opportunity for peace and prosperity and abide by its international obligations."
