🇮🇱 Israel, 🇮🇷 Islamic Republic of Iran
🇮🇱 IsraelFirst replyin response to Islamic Republic of Iran
Thank you, Mr. Vice President, for giving me the floor. I would like to exercise my right of reply. To um I would want to say it is a truly disgrace to hear the representative of Iran, the world famous state sponsor of terrorism, accuses Israel of harming civilians and infrastructure. Iran arms, funds, and directs the very terrorist organization that deliberately embedded their weapons, tunnels, and command centers in schools, hospitals, masks, and homes, turning civilians into home shields. Let us be clear about who targets civilians. It is Iran and its proxies that fire rockets, missiles and drones at Israeli city. Thank you, President, for giving me the floor.
🇮🇷 Islamic Republic of IranSecond reply
Thank you, Mr. President. The regime in Tel Aviv is the core source of instability in the region and continues to threaten regional and international peace and security. It is too soon. To forget the genocidal atrocities it committed in Gaza, resulting in the killing of more than uh 75,000 innocent people, in particular women and children, and wounding uh of over more than 170,000 civilians. The Israeli regime, acting in concert with and with the direct support participation of the United States, launched two unprovoked Onlawful and larger-scale military attacks against the Islamic Republic of Iran in June 2025 and February 2026, in flagrant violation of Article 2, Paragraph of the Charter of the United Nations, and the most fundamental principle of international law. The Islamic Republic of Iran warns that any further act of aggression, provocation, or reckless adventurism by the Israeli regime against its sovereignty, territorial integrity, or national interest will be met with a firm, decisive response. Iran remains fully prepared to exercise its inherent right of self defense against any armed attack in accordance with Article fifty one of the Charter of the United Nations.

Thank you, Chair, for giving the floor. I want to stress that Israel acts in self defense, in accordance with international humanitarian law, taking precautions no other army takes. We categorically reject these baseless ex accusations. Thank you, Chair.
