Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Sunday condemned the United States for launching airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, calling it a serious violation of international law, the UN Charter and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), reported news agency ANI.

Further, Iran's mission to the UN has demanded an urgent meeting of the Security Council following the US attacks on its nuclear facilities. The mission described the US bombing as a "blatant and illegal aggression," and demanded it be condemned in the strongest possible terms.

In his first official reaction to US strikes, Araghchi stated that Tehran reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interests, and people.
