Iran Calls for Immediate UN Security Council Meeting Following US Attacks
Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations has urgently requested an emergency meeting of the Security Council in response to recent US military strikes. Describing these actions as illegal and aggressive, Iran demands the UN take decisive steps to hold the United States accountable under international law.
Diplomatic Pressure Mounts
In a formal letter, Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani condemned the US attacks as "heinous" and “unprovoked,” urging the Security Council—the UN’s most authoritative body—to act swiftly. The letter also called for adherence to the UN Charter, emphasizing the necessity to address what Iran terms unlawful use of force.
Context of Heightened Tensions
The letter highlighted recent events, including a large-scale military strike by Israel on June 13 targeting Iran's nuclear facilities. Iran denounced both the Israeli and US actions as deliberate attempts to undermine its peaceful nuclear program.
