The case of a country’s open military attack on a diplomatic mission is unprecedented in the history of international relations and the way the Zionist regime did it. But there are legal and diplomatic norms to make the regime legally and politically accountable for its terrorist acts, which are listed below:

• Immediate conviction and investigation

1. International organizations, including the United Nations, should issue statements condemning this attack and declaring solidarity with the country that is the victim.
2. A comprehensive investigation should be carried out to determine the perpetrators and their motives behind the attack. The principle of diplomatic immunity should be considered in this process.

• Pursuing the case through diplomatic channels

1. The victim party should convey its diplomatic message to its supporters. This message should emphasize the severity of the situation and the need to hold the attacker accountable.
2. Emergency meetings in regional or international institutions (such as the UN Security Council) should be held to discuss this event and analyze the other party’s possible response in the form of the right of self-defense.

Legal and political reactions

1. According to international law, the attacking party should be held responsible. Since this attack violates the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, legal measures should be taken in proportion to the attack.
2. Sanctions or other punitive measures should be applied against the Zionist regime. These measures can include economic, political, or diplomatic measures.

Security and protective measures

1. The security of diplomatic staff should be prioritized. Enhanced security protocols should be considered and implemented for all diplomatic missions worldwide.
2. Beefing up the vigilance and cooperation between intelligence agencies can help prevent the repetition of such violations and further illegal action.

Multilateral reaction

1. The international community should show solidarity with and support for the victim party. Joint statements, diplomatic meetings, or symbolic positions will each carry a powerful message.
2. Emergency meetings of the UN General Assembly or other relevant institutions can be held to investigate this situation and emphasize diplomatic immunity.

Revival and reconstruction

1. Urgent efforts should be made to rebuild the diplomatic mission’s building. This will show resilience and commitment to diplomatic engagement.
2. The victim party can ask other countries or international organizations to facilitate the reconstruction process.

No action by any party can compensate for the innocent lives that were taken in this terrorist operation, and certainly, Iran’s expected response and countermeasure against the Zionist regime will be legitimate. Of course, considering that the Zionist regime, to compensate for its failure in Gaza and divert public opinion, is trying to drag the Islamic Republic of Iran into an unwanted war in the region to prevent its own collapse.

Iran’s decisive and proportionate response should be measured and tactful so that the wishes of the Israeli regime would not be fulfilled. At the same time, it should be kept in mind that an attack on a diplomatic mission is not an attack on a physical structure but an attack on the basic foundations of diplomacy and regional and global peace and stability, which requires a decisive response from the UN Security Council and the international community.
