Dubai: Iran denied on US allegations Saturday which was supported by Tehran against attacks on US forces in Iraq and Syria, and condemned US air strikes in the militant supported by Iran there, the state media reported.
On Tuesday, the United States told the UN Security Council that he targeted Iran’s supported militias in Syria and Iraq with air strikes to block militants and Tehran from doing or supporting further attacks on US personnel or facilities.
But the UN envoy of Iran, Majid Takht Ravanchi, said: “Every claim for attributes to Iran …
whatever attacks made to American personnel or facilities in Iraq are factually wrong and do not have the minimum requirements of authenticity and reliability,” according to the official news agency Irna.
Based on Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, the 15-member Security Council must be notified immediately about any action that declares self-defense against armed attacks.
Washington told the United Nations that air strikes hit the facilities used by the militia blamed for a series of drone attacks and rockets against US forces in Iraq.
But Ravanchi said: “The US argument that such an attack was carried out to block …
Iran and what was called the Iranian-supported militia group from conducting or supporting further attacks …, did not have a factual or legal basis, as established in fabrication mere and interpretation of arbitration from Article 51.
“” The attack by the United States was carried out in violations of international law, “Ravanchi said in a letter, quoted by Irna.
