Western analyst: Iran acted according to international laws in attacking Israel

“Benjamin Norton” in a visual analysis of the events leading to the retaliatory operation this morning said: Western governments that have condemned Iran’s attack and want to see this country as an aggressor show, they are easily erasing the very important facts that Iran acted in self-defense and attacked Israel only after its embassy in Syria was bombed by Israel and several of its senior military officials were killed.

The editor-in-chief of the Geopolitical Economy Report website added: Actually, it is Israel that started this war with the support of America. Iran has adhered to international laws that clearly allow Tehran to answer and defend itself. Western countries try to make Israel the aggressor a victim. This hypocrisy and double standards become more obvious when we remember that on April 4, three days after the Israeli attack on the Iranian embassy, ​​the United States, England and France prevented its condemnation in the UN Security Council.

The American columnist of Al-Mayadeen Network continued: In fact, immediately after the attack on Israel, Iran’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations published a statement in which, citing Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, it was noted that before this military action , the Security Council adopted 13 days of inaction and silence and did not condemn the aggression of the Israeli regime.

The former reporter of Salon website said: Article 51 of the United Nations Charter clearly states that in the event of an armed attack against a member of the United Nations, which Iran is also a member of this organization, this member has the inherent right to defend itself. . Article 51 also mentions that the Security Council must take the necessary measures to maintain international peace and security. It is clear as day that Iran adheres to international laws and it is Israel, America, England and France that violate international laws.

Continuing this analysis, Norton pointed to the statement of the Secretary General of the United Nations condemning Iran’s reaction and said: Antonio Guterres, the Secretary General of the United Nations, also published an absurd statement in which there was a sharp escalation of tension caused by Iran’s massive attack on Israel. strongly condemned He did not mention that Iran respected international laws, acted in self-defense, and that Israel is an aggressor that violates international laws. This statement shows how western colonialist politicians are destroying international law.
