Iran Warns UN Against Gulf-Backed Resolution
(MENAFN) Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations on Tuesday cautioned that a draft Security Council resolution, reportedly circulated by Gulf states ahead of a scheduled vote, would permanently undermine the Council’s credibility if adopted, according to reports.
The Gulf Cooperation Council–drafted resolution seeks to condemn Iran for its missile and drone attacks on Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan, while demanding an immediate halt to all hostilities.
"Some Council members are attempting to reverse the roles and positions of victim and aggressor," Amir Saeid Iravani said at a press conference at UN headquarters in New York. "They seek to reward the aggressors and punish the victim through a biased and politically motivated resolution."
He warned that adoption of the resolution would have lasting consequences. "Such action, if adopted, would severely damage and undermine the credibility and legitimacy of the Council," Iravani said. "If adopted, it will be a stain on the credibility and reputation of the Security Council."
Iravani further claimed that the resolution would embolden what he described as aggressors, including Israel and the United States, allowing them to carry out further acts of military action.
"Today, it is Iran. Tomorrow, it could be any other sovereign state," he added, urging the international community to act to halt what he described as a “bloody war against the Iranian people.”
He also emphasized the civilian toll from ongoing US-Israeli strikes, alleging that these attacks deliberately target civilians and infrastructure. According to his statements, more than 1,300 civilians have been killed, while 9,669 civilian sites have been destroyed, including 7,943 residential homes and 1,617 commercial or service centers.
"These figures continue to rise every day as the United States and Israel carry out continuous military attacks on war crimes across cities through Iran," Iravani said.
