Iran is systematically recording Israel's acts of aggression and crimes, the country's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on Monday.
Speaking at a press conference in capital city Tehran, Baghaei said that Iran is documenting what it calls Israeli aggression and criminal acts, and remains in constant consultation with the United Nations and other international organizations since the very first day of the Israel-Iran conflict.
Baghaei emphasized that all criminal actions carried out by Israel against Iran must be viewed in the context of aggression, and every site attacked within Iran's territory serves as evidence of Israel's acts of aggression and war crimes, he said.
The spokesman said that the Iranian President's Office has established a special legal committee, which will work to ensure that those responsible for these actions do not escape justice.
On the Iranian parliament's recent legislation to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Baghaei slammed the agency's inaction in the face of attacks by Israel and the U.S attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities, noting that the attacks have posed significant risks to environmental safety, nuclear radiation control, and the safety of personnel.
He accused the IAEA of applying "double standards" and failing to uphold relevant international norms.
"This legislation concerns the suspension of cooperation with the IAEA, and clearly defines how Iran may continue to engage. It was passed by Iran's Parliament and is legally binding, which reflects the Iranian public's deep concern and anger over recent events," said Baghaei.
Noting that just before this round of conflict erupted, Iran and the United States were engaged in diplomatic negotiations over the nuclear issue, Baghaei said, however, both Israel and the United States launched military aggression against Iran.
While firmly defending itself against these attacks, Iran is also calling on the international community to recognize the grave threat posed by such U.S. and Israeli actions to regional peace and stability, said the spokesman.
