In a recent development, Iran's permanent representative to the UN, Amir Saeid Iravani, has conveyed Iran's stance on potential military engagements with the US during a Security Council meeting. Iravani emphasized that Iran harbors no intentions of engaging in military conflict with the US in the region. However, he underscored that Iran reserves the right to respond proportionately if the US initiates military actions against Iran or its security interests.
The statement comes in the wake of heightened tensions following Iran's attack on Israel, which it claims was retaliatory in nature. The attack was purportedly in response to an Israeli strike on Iran's consulate in Damascus, resulting in casualties, including two Iranian generals.
US ambassador to the UN, Robert Wood, vehemently condemned Iran's actions during the Security Council meeting. He issued a stark warning, stating that Iran would be held responsible for any further aggression against the US or its ally, Israel. Wood stressed the need for decisive action from the international community in response to Iran's actions.
Israel's representative at the UN, Gilad Erdan, echoed similar sentiments, likening Iran's Supreme Leader to Hitler and calling for swift condemnation and sanctions against Iran. Erdan emphasized that Iran's aggressive actions pose a significant threat to regional stability and global security.
The Security Council meeting underscored the escalating tensions in the region, with both Iran and Israel adamant in their positions. The international community closely watches the situation, with concerns growing over the potential for further escalation and its implications for regional stability.
