Iran Vows Firm, Ongoing Response As Long As Attacks Continue, Envoy Says

Iran’s UN ambassador, Amir Saeid Iravani, told reporters at the UN Security Council that Tehran will carry out firm self‑defense “as long as” what it calls US‑Israeli aggression continues, framing Iran’s posture as ongoing and conditional on perceived attacks.

The envoy emphasized that these measures are intended as defensive responses tied directly to actions by the United States and Israel rather than open-ended aggression.

This characterization comes from Iran’s official representation at the UN and reflects Tehran’s stated threshold for continuing its military responses.

According to Iranian state reporting, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Iranian Army have been carrying out retaliatory strikes on US military assets in the region and on targets in Israeli-occupied territories since Saturday.

Tehran describes these operations as direct responses to US and Israeli actions.

PressTV’s account frames the campaign as coordinated between the IRGC and the regular armed forces and as part of Iran’s stated policy of striking back against what it deems hostile operations.

Iravani told the Security Council that Iran’s military measures are intended to target combatant forces, not civilians or neighboring countries.

He insisted Iran does not seek war or escalation but will protect its sovereignty.

That public line seeks to portray Tehran’s actions as calibrated, restrained responses rather than indiscriminate strikes, although independent verification and outside perspectives are not included in the state report.

No other international, Western mainstream, or independent outlets were supplied for corroboration or alternate perspectives.

Where the article’s claims could be contested or require outside verification—such as casualty counts, target assessments, or independent confirmation of strikes and their effects—the sources here do not provide that information, and I therefore do not add or assume additional facts.
