Iran’s UN Envoy Slams UN Security Council Over Inaction on War Against Iran


(MENAFN) Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations on Wednesday strongly criticized the UN Security Council for what he described as its failure to respond to the ongoing conflict involving the United States and Israel against Iran.

Speaking before the council, Amir Saeid Iravani said, “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.”

He also argued that Washington and Tel Aviv, along with countries that supported their actions, should be held accountable under international law.

“The United States and the Israeli regime, and those who assisted and facilitated this aggression must bear full legal and international responsibility for this heinous crime and serious violations. Impunity for such crimes not only betrays the victims, but also threatened international peace and security,” he added.

Iravani further urged the Security Council not to ignore what he described as repeated threats by US President Donald Trump toward Iran, warning that such statements create dangerous international consequences.

The envoy said the council “must not remain silent or indifferent to the repeated and daily baseless threats made by the President of the United States against Iran,” adding that Trump’s rhetoric “sets a dangerous precedent.”

Tensions across the region have intensified since the US and Israel launched attacks on Iran on Feb. 28. Tehran later responded with strikes aimed at Israel and American allies in the Gulf region, while also shutting down the Strait of Hormuz.
