Iran\u2019s foreign minister<\/a> is calling Israel\u2019s strikes on its nuclear facilities and military leaders a “declaration of war” on Friday, as Tehran quickly replaced\u00a0top commanders who were killed in the attacks, according to multiple media reports.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The comments from Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi come as his department also released a statement claiming Israel\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0“aggression against Iran could not have been carried out without the coordination and approval of the United States.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Consequently, the U.S. government, as the primary patron of this regime, will also bear responsibility for the dangerous repercussions of the Zionist regime\u2019s reckless actions,” the Iranian Foreign Ministry said in a statement Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Hossein Salami and the country’s chief of staff of the armed forces, Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, were killed by Israel’s strikes. As of Friday morning, Ahmad Vahidi was appointed to temporarily replace Salami, while Habibollah Sayyari will fill in for Bagheri, the Jerusalem Post<\/a> reported, citing Iranian media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vahidi previously held the roles of Iran\u2019s\u00a0defense minister and interior minister and once led the IRGC\u2019s elite Quds Force (QF) from 1988 to 1998, the Jerusalem Post added. It noted that during his time with the IRGC-QF, Vahidi was linked to the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which left 85 dead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sayyari is a former marine who led Iran\u2019s navy from 2007 to 2017.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ISRAEL HITS THE \u2018HEART\u2019 OF IRAN\u2019S NUCLEAR PROGRAM IN NATANZ FACILITY STRIKE<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s Foreign Ministry said Friday that Israel\u2019s strikes “constitute a violation of Article 2(4) of the U.N. Charter and a blatant act of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“In accordance with Article 51 of the U.N. Charter, Iran reserves the legitimate and legal right to respond to this aggression. The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will not hesitate to defend Iran\u2019s sovereignty with full strength and in the manner they deem appropriate,” it continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“As a founding member of the United Nations<\/a> — an organization whose very purpose is to prevent aggression, breaches of peace, and threats to peace — the Islamic Republic of Iran underscores the Security Council\u2019s obligation to take immediate action against this violation of international peace and security, stemming from the Zionist regime\u2019s blatant aggression. We call upon the President and members of the Council to act without delay in this regard,” the foreign ministry added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The grave and far-reaching consequences of the Zionist regime\u2019s aggression against our beloved homeland, Iran, will rest entirely upon this regime and its supporters,” it also said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
