AMBASSADOR RODOLFO BENÍTEZ VERSON, PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE OF CUBA, SPEAKS ON THE MILITARY ATTACKS BY THE UNITED STATES AND ISRAEL AGAINST THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN. PLENARY SESSION OF THE CONFERENCE ON DISARMAMENT.
The threat of direct aggression by the United States against the Islamic Republic of Iran, encouraged by the genocidal government of Israel, became a reality following the cowardly bombings of the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities. We reiterate our full solidarity with the people and government of Iran.
Cuba condemns, in the strongest terms, these grave acts, which constitute a dangerous escalation of the conflict in the Middle East and a flagrant violation of the UN Charter and international law.
