Iran Press/ America: According to Iran Press, Amir Saeed Iravani, Iran's Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations, said on Monday at the UN Security Council meeting titled "Threat to international peace and security" about the US attacks on Syria and Iraq: "The US military action is illegitimate, illegal, and unjustified and blatantly violates the basic norms and principles of international law, the United Nations Charter, particularly paragraph 4 of Article 2 of the Charter. It is a flagrant breach of Iraq and Syria's territorial integrity, sovereignty, and political independence."
The most senior diplomat of the Islamic Republic of Iran at the United Nations added: "Iran also strongly condemns the joint military actions of the United States and the United Kingdom against Yemen which constitute an obvious violation of the United Nations Charter and international law. Furthermore, they have openly abused Security Council Resolution 2722 (2024)."
He further said: "These illegal actions, which targeted civilians and vital infrastructure, jeopardize regional peace and security as well as pose a serious threat to international peace and security."
Iravani stated: "The United States and NATO must respect the Iraqi government's decision to terminate their military presence and withdraw their forces from the country."
Irvani elsewhere emphasized: "All of the resistance groups in the region are independent and their decisions and actions are motivated by their legitimate rights under international law that are ending the illegal presence of the US in their territories, stopping the genocide in Gaza, and ending the occupation of the Palestinian territories. Therefore, any attempt to attribute these actions to Iran or its Armed forces is misleading, baseless, and unacceptable."
He urged: "Claims that Iran's bases in Iraq and Syria were attacked are rejected as unfounded and regarded as attempts to shift attention away from the US's aggressive actions."
The Permanent Representative of Iran to the United Nations stated: "Iran has never sought to bring its disputes with the United States into Iraqi territory and remains committed to Iraq's independence, national sovereignty, and territorial integrity and this is the principle position of the Islamic Republic of Iran."
Irvani pointed out: "It is evident to everyone that the root causes of the current situation in the region are occupation, aggression, and the continued genocide and horrific atrocities committed by the Israeli regime and fully supported by the US against innocent Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.
The US military attacks against the Muslim nations of the region are the continuation of the complicity of this country in the genocide of the Palestinians through all-out support of the occupying regime and preventing any effective international action to hold that regime accountable."
He said:" While more than 4 months have passed since the occupying regime's genocidal attacks on the oppressed people of Palestine, the US has not only actively cooperated with the Israeli regime in the genocide of the Palestinians, but is now attempting to divert the international community's attention away from the Genocide of the Palestinians through escalation of tension in other parts of the region."
Iran's ambassador to the United Nations continued: "We believe that the only solution to end the conflict in the region and prevent the spillover of the war is to return all to their obligations under international law: that is, to force Israel to stop the genocide in Gaza, to establish an immediate ceasefire, to end the presence of US Forces in Iraq and Syria, and to exert pressure to end the occupation of Palestinian territories by the Israeli regime." 204
