Iran has written to the UN nuclear watchdog to complain about Israel’s threats against its nuclear sites, foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei says at a weekly news conference.
Israel has vowed to attack Iran after Tehran fired some 200 ballistic missiles at Israel on Oct. 1, leading to speculation that Iran’s nuclear sites could be among Israel’s potential targets.
“Threats to attack nuclear sites are against UN resolutions…. and are condemned… we have sent a letter about it to… the UN nuclear watchdog,” Baghaei said in the televised news conference.
Separately, Baghaei says Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi will travel to Bahrain and Kuwait.
