Iran's Ambassador to the UN, Amir Saed Iravani, dismissed Israel's claims as “false and unsubstantiated,“ asserting that they warranted no genuine response. He reiterated Iran's stance of not seeking escalation or conflict in the region. Explaining Iran's military operation as an exercise of its inherent right to self-defense, Ambassador Iravani emphasized that the action was necessary, proportionate, and aimed solely at military targets to minimize the risk of escalation and civilian casualties. Expressing regret over the refusal of certain Council members, including the US, UK, and France, to acknowledge the root causes of the situation, Ambassador Iravani accused them of hypocrisy. He criticized their failure to uphold international commitments to peace and security in the region and denounced what he perceived as the spreading of lies and disinformation to undermine Iran's right to self-defense. Ambassador Iravani also highlighted the Council's inaction regarding Israeli actions against Palestinians, which he described as war crimes. He criticized the US and its allies for blocking Security Council action on Gaza for over six months, shielding Israel from accountability. Warning against further military provocations by Israel, Iran reaffirmed its commitment to defending its people, national security, and interests. Ambassador Iravani emphasized Iran's readiness to exercise its right to self-defense when necessary. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn News English is your window into the latest news, insight, and features from South Asia and beyond.
