- Iran calls for an urgent UN Security Council meeting to halt aggression.
- Tehran vows to defend itself, warning international inaction could undermine global institutions.
The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday called on the United Nations Security Council to convene an urgent session to address what it described as ongoing aggression against the country.
A ministry statement said the war was imposed on Iran, stressing that the country's armed forces are prepared to defend its sovereignty “with full strength.”
Warning to global institutions
Iranian officials warned that failure by the international community to respond to the aggression could mark “the end of international institutions,” signaling deep frustration with perceived inaction.
The ministry did not specify the aggressor or details of recent hostilities, but emphasized that Iran expects decisive measures from the Security Council to prevent further escalation.
Regional implications
The call comes amid rising tensions in the region, with multiple states monitoring the situation closely. Analysts suggest that Tehran’s statement aims both to pressure the UN and to assert its readiness to respond militarily if necessary.
