UN envoy condemns US-Israeli threats against Iran
In a letter to the UN Security Council, Saeid Iravani lashed out at the US president and the Israeli prime minister for issuing brazen statements misrepresenting the internal affairs of Iran in such a way that foreign interference is necessary to save the country or impose coercive political results.
Decrying the undeniable coordination between the measures of the US and the Israeli regime, the envoy said Washington and Tel Aviv have encouraged violence, supported terrorist groups, provoked social instability, and tried to transform peaceful protests in Iran into violent riots through provocative remarks, sending political messages and issuing overt threats.
The Islamic Republic of Iran rejects the US’ destabilizing measures that weaken the UN Charter, violate the fundamental international principles, and threaten the fundamentals of peace and security, Iravani stated.
He warned that the continuation of the US and Israeli actions have created a dangerous precedent that will rattle the international order on which the United Nations has been founded.
The ambassador also described transforming peaceful protests into violent riots with the purpose of overthrowing the government and vandalizing public properties in Iran as a direct result of the US policies, saying the US government is totally and unequivocally responsible for the consequence of those incidents.
