The Iranian mission to the United Nations has made it clear that Iran has a legal right to defense and that this right has no relation to the ceasefire in Gaza.
In a statement, Iran’s UN mission said that Iran’s response would not be detrimental to a potential ceasefire.
The statement also mentioned that the timing and manner of Iran’s response would not affect the ceasefire. Iran’s priority is a lasting ceasefire in Gaza, and if the ceasefire agreement is accepted by Hamas, it will also be acceptable to Iran.
According to news agencies, direct and mediated official channels for exchanging messages between Iran and the United States have always been in place, although both parties refrain from disclosing details.
