Iran has formally protested to the United Nations against the recent U.S. attack on its nuclear site, directly rejecting America’s justification of self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter. Iran’s UN representative, Amir Saeed Iravani, called the U.S. action a violation of Iran’s sovereignty and inconsistent with global norms for peaceful nuclear energy use. He described the attack as a clear misinterpretation of international law and contradictory to the fundamental principles of the United Nations.
