In his speech, he said: the US military action was illegal and unjustified and clearly violated the norms and basic principles of international law, the United Nations Charter, especially Article 2, Clause 4 of the Charter. It is also a clear violation of the territorial integrity, sovereignty and political independence of Iraq and Syria. It strongly condemns Yemen, which is a clear violation of the United Nations Charter and international laws. In addition, the United States and the United Kingdom have openly abused Security Council Resolution 2722 (2024). Such illegal actions that target civilians and critical infrastructure endanger peace and security in the region and are also a serious threat to international peace and security.

, referring to the fact that the United States and the United Kingdom should assume their international responsibility for committing the crime of aggression, the representative of Iran said: the reasoning and justification of invoking Article 51 as the basis for these aggressions lacks a solid legal basis and cannot justify these illegal actions legitimize Today in this hall, America and England made another desperate attempt to divert attention from the main cause of the current situation in the region by accusing and blaming Iran.

Irvani stated: All these actions violate international laws, the United Nations Charter, and related resolutions of the Security Council. The Syrian Arab Republic has officially and repeatedly protested these violations and asked the Security Council to stop such illegal actions and end the American occupation. In Iraq, after its illegal military intervention in 2003, the United States and the so-called coalition ignored the opinions and demands of Iraqis and continued their activities and illegal presence under the name of fighting terrorism.

He said: The United States and NATO must respect the decision of the Iraqi government to end the military presence and withdraw troops from the country.

Irvani stated that all the resistance groups in the region are independent and pointed out: the motivation of their decisions and actions is based on their legitimate rights under international laws, which are in response to the illegal presence of the United States in their territories and in order to stop Genocide in Gaza and ending the occupied Palestinian territories. Therefore, any attempt to attribute these actions to Iran or its armed forces is misleading, baseless and unacceptable.

The representative of Iran emphasized: Iran never He did not and does not seek to help the spillover of tension in the region. Iran does not have a military presence in Iraq, nor military bases and advisors. In Syria, Iranian military advisors are legally present since they are officially invited by the Syrian government to fight terrorism. The claims that Iran’s bases in Iraq and Syria have been attacked are baseless and are hereby denied; Such claims are made to divert attention from America’s aggressive actions.

Irvani continued: Iran has never sought to bring its differences with America to Iraqi soil. and adheres to the independence, national sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iraq; Such an issue is the fundamental position of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

He stated that the roots of the current situation in the region are occupation, aggression, genocide and horrible crimes that the regime With the support of the United States, Israel commits crimes against innocent Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, he stated: the military attacks of the United States against the Muslim nations of the region, the continued complicity of this country in the genocide of the Palestinians by supporting the occupying regime and preventing any effective international action to answer. This is the regime.

Iran’s representative in New York also said: While more than 4 months have passed since the genocide of the occupying regime against the oppressed people of Palestine, America is not only The genocide of Palestinians has been an active cooperation with the Zionist regime, but now it is trying to divert the attention of the world community towards the genocide of Palestinians by escalating tensions in other parts of the region.

He added: We believe that the only solution to end the conflict in the region and prevent the spillover of war is to return to the obligations based on international law: that is, to force Israel to stop the genocide in Gaza, to establish an immediate ceasefire. ending the presence of American forces in Iraq and Syria and exerting pressure to end the occupation of Palestinian lands by the Israeli regime.

Irvani stated Instead of blaming others and simply urging other members to exercise restraint, the United States should force the Israeli regime to stop the genocide in Gaza and comply with its obligations under international humanitarian law. Likewise, the United States should end its obstruction of the UN Security Council and allow Algeria’s proposed draft resolution focusing on a Gaza ceasefire to pass. This approach is in line with the broader goal of restoring peace and stability in the region while addressing existing humanitarian concerns.

In the end, the representative of Iran emphasized that if If Iran faces a threat, attack or aggression that affects its security, national interests or people, it will not hesitate to respond decisively in using its inherent rights under international laws and the UN Charter.
