Iran’s warning against any provocative action by America in the Red Sea

Foreign Policy Group of Fars News Agency; Iran’s ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations wrote a letter to the Security Council regarding the accusations about the Red Sea. which was held on January 3, 2024 under the agenda of “maintaining international peace and security”. In the aforementioned meeting, representatives from the United States and the Israeli regime once again made baseless accusations against the Islamic Republic of Iran by abusing the podium of the Security Council and published false information and deliberate misinformation. In this regard, I would like to emphasize the following points:

This letter states: The Islamic Republic of Iran categorically and categorically rejects the baseless claims raised in this meeting. These accusations are unprovable and unsubstantiated. The Islamic Republic of Iran has always attached great importance to maritime security and freedom of navigation and emphasizes its unwavering commitment to adhere to its international obligations and maintain peace and security in the region.

Ambassador of Iran In this letter, stating that the goal of the United States and the Israeli regime in making such baseless accusations is clear, in explaining these goals, he stated: diverting international attention from the root causes of the current situation in the Red Sea; Genocide and brutal massacre of the Israeli regime with the full support of the United States against the innocent Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank; And also their participation in coordinated military aggression and malicious activities against other countries in the region. ; A fact that indicates that the recent events in the Red Sea are directly related to the continuation of Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people in Gaza. The United States and the Israeli regime bear full responsibility for the reprehensible crimes being committed in occupied Palestine. The severity of the war crime of the Israeli regime and the crime of genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza have been acknowledged and documented by the United Nations, international organizations and human rights institutions; The crimes that are presented as the most widespread genocide recorded in contemporary history.

The ambassador and representative of Iran has noted in this letter: The United States instead of taking decisive action to curb these severe violations. , not only stands by the Israeli regime, but also helps the occupying regime by providing military support and significant diplomatic cover. Blocking the Security Council’s charter mandate, which runs counter to international calls for an end to Israel’s slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza, the US is now seeking a Security Council resolution that ostensibly focuses on rights and freedom of navigation in the Red Sea. However, the main goal is to legitimize the so-called “international naval coalition” led by Washington to serve its regional political goals and to give Israel the necessary shield to continue its war crimes and crimes in Gaza. As a result, the statements of the United States about the so-called “rights of navigation and freedom of ships of all countries in the Red Sea” are only seen as an attempt to deflect from the bitter reality of ongoing crimes and genocide in Palestine.

Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations has stated in this letter: The Islamic Republic of Iran, warning against any provocative or irresponsible actions of the United States that may endanger the peace and security of the region, asks the Security Council to fulfill its responsibilities. To address the causes of the current state of the Red Sea. In this regard, the Security Council must take decisive measures to force the Israeli regime to stop the bloodshed, stop its aggressive actions, and firmly adhere to its international obligations under humanitarian and human rights laws. In addition, the Security Council must force the occupying regime to fully implement resolutions 2712 and 2720; Resolutions calling for minimum requirements to facilitate and ensure the prompt, safe and unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people throughout the Gaza Strip.
