Iran is calling for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to protest the killing of Hezbollah terror group chief Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli air strike in Lebanon, according to a letter to the Council.
In the letter, Iran’s UN envoy Amir Saeid Iravani calls on the Council to “take immediate and decisive action to stop Israel’s ongoing aggression and prevent… from dragging the region into full-scale war.”
“Using US-supplied thousand-pound bunker busters,” he writes, Israel killed Nasrallah and Iranian Gen. Abbas Nilforushan, among others.
He warns Israel not to attack any of its diplomatic or consular premises, or its representatives.
“Iran will not hesitate to exercise its inherent rights under international law to take every measure in defense of its vital national and security interests,” Iravani writes.
