Kazem Gharibabadi emphasized that Iran will give a ‘decisive and regretful’ response to any threat of enemy.
The use of force against the territorial integrity of Iran is a clear violation of Article 2(4) of the United Nations Charter (absolute prohibition of the threat of force) and an example of aggression according to UN General Assembly Resolution 3314, he said, adding, “Threatening to attack power plants and bridges (civilian infrastructures) is a war crime under Article 8(2)(b) of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the First Geneva Protocol of 1977 (Article 52).
President of the United States, as the highest official in his country, has publicly threatened to commit war crimes - an act that would incur his individual criminal responsibility before the International Criminal Court and any competent national court, Gharibabadi underlined,
The Islamic Republic of Iran, based on Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, will give a decisive, immediate, and regretful response to any aggression or imminent threat, he continued.
These statements prove the determination of the Islamic Republic of Iran against any external threat, the deputy foreign minister added.
