TEHRAN Tehrans ambassador to the UN has denounced inflammatory remarks by Donald Trump and his senior officials versus Iran and said Washingtons accusations versus the Islamic Republic relating to Yemen are completely baseless.Amir Saied Iravani made the talk about Monday in a letter to the UN secretary basic and the UN Security Council president.I wish to reveal my deep issue and unquestionable condemnation of recent belligerent statements by senior authorities of the United States administration, including the president of the United States, while they were trying frantically to unlawfully justify the U.S.
acts of aggressiveness and war criminal offenses against Yemen, leveling unwarranted accusations versus the Islamic Republic of Iran and honestly threatening making use of force versus Iran, Iravani wrote in his letter.U.S.
President Donald Trump has actually declared he will hold Iran straight responsible for any future attacks by Yemen targeting ships associated to Israel.Writing on Truth Social post on Monday, Trump said, Every shot fired by the Houthis will be looked upon, from this point forward, as being a shot fired from the weapons and leadership of IRAN, and IRAN will be called to account, and suffer the repercussions, and those consequences will be dire!The Iranian diplomat said Yemeni forces run independently in their decision-making and actions, and their operations are conducted in support of Gaza.Iravani alerted any acts of aggression versus Iran will have serious consequencesThe full text of Iravanis letter to the UN is as follows: Excellency, Upon instructions from my federal government, and even more to the letter dated 11 February 2025 (S/2025/89), I want to express my deep concern and unquestionable condemnation of current belligerent declarations by senior officials of the United States administration, including the president of the United States, while they were attempting desperately to unlawfully validate the U.S.s acts of aggression and war criminal offenses versus Yemen, leveling unwarranted accusations against the Islamic Republic of Iran and honestly threatening using force against Iran.
Such inflammatory rhetoric constitutes a blatant violation of essential concepts of worldwide law and of the United Nations Charter, particularly Article 2( 4 ), which forbids risks or usage of force against sovereign states.
Due to these grave infractions, the Islamic Republic of Iran strongly rejects and condemns these careless and intriguing declarations.
Iran gets in touch with the Security Council to take a clear and principled stance in knocking such inflammatory statements and to call that the United States comply with its obligations under the UN Charter.
As we have actually consistently stressed, the normalization of risks of force sets an unsafe precedent and presents serious threats to international peace and security.
The Security Council should not stay quiet in the face of such outright provocations.While committed to its commitments to international peace and security, the Islamic Republic of Iran will resolutely defend its sovereignty, territorial integrity, and nationwide interests under worldwide law against any hostile action.
The Islamic Republic of Iran cautions that any act of aggression will have extreme effects, for which the U.S.
will bear complete responsibility.The Islamic Republic of Iran unquestionably condemns the recent military aggressiveness and unlawful use of force against Yemen by the United States and the United Kingdom.
These actions flagrantly breach Yemens sovereignty and territorial integrity, contravening global law, the United Nations Charter, and relevant Security Council resolutions, therefore positioning a serious hazard to local peace and stability.As a responsible member of the international neighborhood, the Islamic Republic of Iran has actually consistently complied with its responsibilities under international law, and supports the maritime security and freedom of navigation.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has actually never been associated with any activities inconsistent with the arrangements of relevant Security Council resolutions on Yemen.
Iran highly and unconditionally declines any accusation on the violation of relevant Security Council resolutions on arms embargoes in Yemen or participation in any destabilizing activities in the area.
I wish to stress once more that Ansarullah and the Yemeni authorities run individually in their decision-making and actions, asserting that their operations are carried out in support of the people of Gaza and in action to violations of Yemens sovereignty and territorial integrity.I also take this opportunity to unconditionally turn down the false and unverified accusations made against the Islamic Republic of Iran by the representatives of the United States concerning Yemen, along with by the United Kingdom and France, who implicated Iran of destabilizing activities in the area during the Security Councils open briefing on 6 March 2025, under the agenda product The situation in the Middle East (9873rd meeting).
These accusations are entirely baseless and lack any trustworthiness.
Iran views these unfounded claims as a deliberate and calculated attempt by these 3 states to deflect attention from their own complicity in the genocide and war crimes committed by the Israeli regime versus the Palestinian people in Gaza and other nations in the area, along with their failure, as permanent members of the Security Council, to hold Israel liable and force it to follow peace and security in the region.I need to be grateful if you would flow the present letter as a file of the Security Council.Please accept, Excellency, the guarantees of my greatest factor to consider.
