Fed’s Powell opens door to potential rate cuts at Jackson Hole
Investing.com -- Iran characterized its strikes on Israel as "proportionate defensive operations" aimed solely at military targets, according to statements made by Iran’s U.N. Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani to the United Nations Security Council on Monday.
In a letter to the council, Iravani described the strikes as acts of self-defense, while warning that any third countries cooperating with Israel’s strikes on Iran would be "complicit in the legal responsibility and consequences of this crisis."
The ambassador’s statements were made in accordance with Article 51 of the U.N. Charter, which requires member states to immediately inform the 15-member Security Council when taking actions in self-defense against armed attacks.
The U.N. Charter stipulates that countries must report such defensive measures to the Security Council when they occur.
