Iran will not hesitate to react to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “threat regarding nuclear weapons” made during his United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) speech, Iranian Ambassador Amir Saeed Iravani condemned in a Tuesday letter to the UN.
The Iranian response to Netanyahu’s speech was reported on Wednesday by the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA). IRNA is funded and operated by the Iranian government.
“We will not hesitate to exercise our legitimate and inherent rights to defend our national interests,” the ambassador wrote in the letter, according to IRNA.
“By order of our government, I would like to draw the Security Council’s attention to the recent alarming and serious threat by the Israeli Prime Minister regarding the use of nuclear weapons against Iran,” Iravani wrote.
