Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the Israeli regime’s act of aggression against the country amounts to a “declaration of war”.

Araghchi made the remark in a letter to United Nations secretary general and president of Security Council after the Israeli regime carried out savage attacks on military sites, nuclear facilities and residential areas which killed a number of top commanders of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), nuclear scientists and civilians.

"These oppressive acts are not only constitute a severe violation of sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iran as an independent member of the United Nations, but as per international law and international humanitarian law, including the Geneva Conventions, are among acts of aggression and war crimes,” he said.

The Iranian foreign minister called on the UN Security Council to fulfill its responsibilities, strongly condemn the aggression and take immediate and specific measures to hold the Israeli regime’s accountable.

He said Iran insists on its inherent right to self-defense in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter and will “respond decisively and proportionately to these illegal and cowardly actions."

"The Islamic Republic of Iran will act with full determination to protect its sovereignty, people and national security. This is a non-negotiable right,” he added.

Among its targets, the Israeli regime attacked the Natanz Nuclear Facility in central Iran which works under full supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), he noted.

The top Iranian diplomat warned that the Tel Aviv regime’s reckless attacks endangered the lives of Iranian civilians and caused a worrying threat to regional and international peace and security by posing the risk of a radiological disaster.

Araghchi emphasized that any deliberate military attack against nuclear facilities under the supervision of international safeguards constitutes a gross violation of international law.

The dangerous attack would further undermine the Non-Proliferation Treaty and the UN nuclear watchdog, he warned.

Araghchi said Israel’s purposeful assassination against top military commanders and Iranian scientists in Tehran and the regime’s deliberate and preplanned measures are clear examples of “state terrorism".

"Israel, the most terrorist regime in the world, has now crossed all redlines, and the international community must not allow these crimes to go unpunished,” he added.

The top Iranian diplomat emphasized that Israel will deeply regret its “reckless aggression and the big strategic miscalculation” it has made.

Araghchi called on the Security Council to hold an urgent meeting to address the Israeli regime’s illegal act of aggression and its consequences for the global peace and security.

In brazen contravention of international law, the Israeli regime launched an all-out war on Iran on Friday by bombing the country’s nuclear civilian infrastructure and assassinating some veteran nuclear scientists, as well as high-ranking military commanders.

In a statement on Friday just hours after the latest Israeli aggression, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei warned that the regime must now await a harsh punishment.

Ayatollah Khamenei said the Zionist regime has prepared a “bitter and painful fate” for itself.

Israeli warplanes launched airstrikes on #Iran early on Thursday, as explosions were heard in several Iranian regions, including the capital, Tehran.

Israeli media outlets reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened the security cabinet amid the strikes, while Israeli-controlled airspace was closed off for all commercial flights.

This comes amid high-level nuclear talks between Iran and the #US and after US President Donald Trump threatened possible Israeli attacks against Iran hours ago.

The President of the Republic of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, held on Wednesday a fraternal meeting with Qiu Xiaoqi, Special Representative of the Chinese Government for Latin America, at the end of his visit to the Caribbean nation, an event that reaffirmed the historic ties between the two socialist countries.

Cuba and China agreed to highlight the special nature of bilateral relations, based on solidarity, mutual respect and a history of 65 years of uninterrupted ties since 1960. On that historical basis, they reaffirmed the political will of the highest leadership of the Party and the Government of the two nations to deepen bilateral ties.

Díaz-Canel thanked China for its firm support in difficult times. He particularly acknowledged the invaluable and sustainable contribution of Chinese projects to the development of priority sectors with high impact for the Cuban population.

Likewise, the Cuban head of state considered that the Community of Shared Future between the two countries endorses the deepening of the consensus built by the different generations of leaders and is the path chosen to move towards greater integration.

Qiu Xiaoqi considered the exchanges with Cuban authorities “fruitful”. He reaffirmed that the Asian giant will continue to support Cuba's economic and social development as part of its policy towards socialist countries.

Likewise, he pointed out that the Chinese side attaches high significance to the development of ties with a socialist nation such as Cuba.

Among the most recent results of the Cuba-China ties, the construction of seven solar parks in six Cuban provinces stands out. These will generate 35 MW and save more than 18,000 tons of fuel per year.

Similarly, more than ten joint projects have been signed in high-tech areas such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, neuroscience and nanotechnology, based at the Havana Science Park.

Collaboration includes donations of locomotives, buses, energy equipment and the modernization of electrical infrastructure. In addition, joint work is progressing in mining, hydrocarbons and higher education.

I can't believe the U.S. negotiating strategy of offering literally nothing while demanding concessions has backfired on them.
