"Iran's United Nations ambassador Amir Saeed Iravani has written to the UN secretary-general and the president of the UN Security Council (UNSC), urging them to condemn unlawful threats towards Tehran from United States President Donald Trump amid ongoing protests in the country. The letter sent on Friday came hours after Trump said the US was locked and loaded and ready to go if any more protesters were killed in the ongoing demonstrations in Iran over the cost of living."
"Iravani called on UN chief Antonio Guterres and members of the UNSC to unequivocally and firmly condemn Trump's reckless and provocative statements, describing them as a serious violation of the UN Charter and international law. Any attempt to incite, encourage or legitimise internal unrest as a pretext for external pressure or military intervention is a gross violation of the sovereignty, political independence and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran,"
Iran urged the UN secretary-general and UN Security Council members to condemn unlawful threats from US President Donald Trump, labeling his statements reckless and in violation of the UN Charter and international law. Iran warned that attempts to incite or legitimise internal unrest as a pretext for external pressure or military intervention constitute gross violations of its sovereignty, political independence and territorial integrity. Iran reiterated its inherent right to defend sovereignty and said it would exercise that right decisively and proportionately. Protests over the cost of living and a shopkeepers' strike spread across multiple cities, with at least seven killed and 44 arrested.
