Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei has condemned the United Nations Security Council’s resolution on Iran as “utterly unlawful”.

In a statement on X, Baghaei said Wednesday’s resolution – which condemns Iran’s attacks on the Gulf countries and Jordan – “distorts the fundamental principles”, of the UN Charter and international law.

He accused the resolution’s sponsors of ignoring that “Iran is defending itself against an unprovoked aggression by two bullying regimes”.

“No country should provide any assistance to the U.S./Israeli illegal war against Iran,” he said, adding that Tehran “has no intention of violating the sovereignty or territorial integrity of its neighbors and has exercised maximum restraint”.
