Iravani then harshly criticized the UN in listing the reasons that led to the raid with drones and missiles: «Unfortunately, the United Nations Security Council has failed in its duty to maintain international peace and security, allowing the regime Israeli to cross red lines and violate fundamental principles of international law.
