DUBAI (Reuters) – Iran's Foreign Ministry called on the United Nations Security Council to take “meaningful action” to prevent threats to regional peace and security after Tehran launched a salvo of missiles against Israel on Tuesday.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said the attack was in retaliation for recent Israeli killings of militant leaders and aggression in Gaza and Lebanon. Lebanese Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Revolutionary Guard deputy commander Abbas Nilforoushan were killed in Beirut last week.
“Our defensive operation is in accordance with international law and the right of self-defense… we targeted only military and security facilities,” the Foreign Ministry said in its statement on the rocket attack on Israel.
