OHCHR expressed concern about Israeli strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) is concerned about Israeli attacks on Iran's energy infrastructure. These attacks were not carried out solely for military purposes, the official representative of the department, Ravina Shamdasani, said on March 10.
"We are concerned about the impact of these strikes on the civilian population's right to health, as well as their impact on the environment," RIA Novosti quoted Shamdasani as saying.
According to her, the predicted impact of these strikes on the population and the environment raises serious questions about whether obligations under international humanitarian law in terms of proportionality and precautionary measures have been respected. Shamdasani also did not rule out that Israel could strike Iran's energy infrastructure not only for military purposes.
On the same day, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced the start of a new series of strikes on Tehran. In addition, airstrips and air defense systems were attacked. In turn, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on March 10 that the Iranian military conducted a new wave of attacks on US and Israeli targets using super-heavy missiles.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on March 10 that Russia was ready, to the best of its ability, to help resolve the crisis in the Middle East and reduce the intensity of the tense situation. He noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin had offered various options for mediation and good offices to Russia since the beginning of hostilities in the region.
