Iran Press/ America: Iran's envoy to the UN has criticized the Security Council for keeping silent on the Zionist regime of Israel's repeated attacks and aggression against Syria.
Targeting the non-military people and "vital infrastructure" of Syria is a blatant violation of human rights, Amir Saeid Iravani said via a statement before the United Nations Security Council on "The situation in the Middle East: (Syria)" on Tuesday, October 25.
"The Security Council's silence has emboldened the Israeli regime to carry out its aggression and crimes more openly and broadly," the ambassador noted.

Saeid Iravani, Iran envoy, in a statement, called for more UN action to alleviate Syrian people suffering by providing humanitarian aid and preserving the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria.
Iran's envoy called for urgent action to end foreign aggression against Syria and the country's occupation by foreign military forces and to lift the cruel and illegal sanctions imposed on the Syrian people.
Iravani called for the UN's role in assisting the UN to enhance the delivery of humanitarian aid to those in need and helping to implement resolution 2642 for early recovery projects such as electricity, water, sanitation, health, education, and shelter.
Iran, in the mentioned statement, asks to stop politicizing humanitarian and development efforts by the international community in Syria and remove obstacles, particularly by refraining from imposing unilateral coercive measures.
"The only way to improve the situation in Syria is a political solution, and that is through a Syrian-owned and Syrian-led political process facilitated by UN efforts, Iravani stressed and added that "Iran supports the constructive engagement of the parties with the Special Envoy for the Political Process to settle differences over the Constitutional Committee meeting effectively.

"We emphasize the need to end the illegal presence of foreign forces in parts of Syria, which has created ideal conditions for terrorist activity," the Iranian envoy said.
The Iran statement said that the Israeli regime's aggression against Syrian sovereignty and territorial integrity continues unabated, despite repeated requests from the Arab Republic of Syria for the Security Council to condemn it.
Iravani added: "Preserving the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of UN member states is a cornerstone of the UN Charter, on which the international legal order is built."
Iran's statement concluded that the Security Council must stop using a double standard and condemn Israeli aggression unequivocally, holding this lawless regime accountable for such a crime that jeopardizes regional peace and security.
