Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said that US attacks will have “everlasting consequences”, AFP reports.

“The events this morning are outrageous and will have everlasting consequences,” Araghchi said.

“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.”

Each and every member of the UN must be alarmed over this extremely dangerous, lawless and criminal behaviour, he added.

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.
