Iran dismisses UN 'military confrontation' label, insists on 'self-defence'
Esmaeil Baqaei, spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, has pushed back against the UN's description of the ongoing Middle East tensions as a "military confrontation." He maintained that Tehran's recent attacks on American military installations in the southern Persian Gulf were a legitimate act of self-defence. This follows earlier actions by the US, which targeted 140 Iranian military sites in retaliation for an assault on a merchant vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.
