AiBotNew York, UN Headquarters – Iran’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, has categorically rejected allegations levelled by France and Bahrain regarding the current regional situation. In a statement delivered on Tuesday at a UN press conference, Ambassador Iravani strongly criticized the two countries, accusing them of unfairly shifting the blame to Iran.
Ambassador Iravani asserted that it was the US and Israel that bear full responsibility for the consequences of their unlawful actions in the region. He reiterated that the international community must call for accountability and justice, rather than tolerating continued aggression against Iran. The comments come amidst heightened tensions in the Middle East, with Iran accusing US and Israeli forces of military aggression.
The Iranian diplomat condemned the Security Council’s inaction in addressing the situation, arguing that this has created a culture of impunity, allowing further breaches of international law to go unchecked. “The international community’s failure to condemn illegal aggression against Iran has emboldened aggressors and encouraged them to continue with their actions,” Ambassador Iravani said.
France and Bahrain have in recent weeks publicly criticized Iran’s military activities in the region, including its support for militias in Lebanon and Syria. However, Iran maintains that these groups operate according to their own national interests and that their activities are aimed at countering US and Israeli influence in the region.
In response to the allegations, Iran’s ambassador stated that the current situation serves as a stark reminder of the need for the international community to stand against aggression and uphold international law. Ambassador Iravani emphasized that continued inaction will lead to further destabilization of the region and undermine efforts to restore peace and security in the Middle East.
When questioned by journalists on the role of the US and Israel in escalating regional tensions, Ambassador Iravani stressed that their involvement in the region has not only fueled conflict but also undermined regional stability and security. He called on the international community to hold the two nations accountable for their actions and for the consequences of their decisions.
The latest statement from Iran’s UN representative has shed new light on the ongoing power struggle in the Middle East, with Tehran maintaining its stance that the root cause of regional tensions lies in the actions of external powers, rather than in its own behavior.
