- Iran’s UN envoy accuses the Security Council of failing to stop what he calls a US–'Israel' war on Iran.
- Tehran says threats from the US president are escalating tensions and undermining international law.
Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations has criticized the Security Council for what he described as its failure to respond to what he called an unprovoked US–'Israeli' attack on Iran.
Speaking before the council, Iranian envoy Amir Saeid Iravani said the body had not fulfilled its responsibilities due to obstruction by a permanent member that he accused of being “an aggressor”.
“Regrettably, the Security Council has failed to discharge its responsibilities in the face of this grave violation due to the obstruction of a permanent member that is itself an aggressor,” Iravani said.
He added that the United States, the ‘Israeli’ authorities, and their partners should bear “full legal and international responsibility” for what he described as “heinous crimes” and violations of international law, warning that impunity would undermine global security.
Iravani also urged the council not to remain silent over repeated threats made by US President Donald Trump, saying such rhetoric “sets a dangerous precedent” and risks further destabilization.
