TEHRAN – UN Security Council President Carolyn Rodrigett, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Iran’s permanent UN representative, Amir Saeid Irabani, condemned the US “unfounded, unfounded allegations” against Iran during the June 4th Security Council session.
The letter, which is circulated as an official UN document, denounced the US accusations of “lack of credibility or legal foundations,” and claimed Washington was deliberately obstructing the council’s mission to end the Israeli administration’s war of massacres over Gaza.
Irabani said: “The Security Council must endure unrelenting artillery fire, forced evacuation, hunger and systematic destruction of civilian infrastructure at an age where it must act with unity and urgency to end the unparalleled suffering of the Palestinian people.
He described Washington’s actions as a “calculated bias” designed solely to “protect an illegal Israeli regime from accountability for a terrible violation of international law.”
The ambassador reserved a special condemnation of the US veto of a resolution calling for “an immediate, unconditional, permanent ceasefire” and unhindered humanitarian access.
He called the veto “the blatant neglect and abuse of responsibility entrusted to the Security Council under the UN Charter,” underscoring it perpetuates the “deeply nasty pattern” that enabled Tel Aviv’s 19-month genocide campaign in Gaza.
Repeating Iran’s stance, Irabani asserted that Tehran’s support for Palestine’s self-defense was “based on the UN Charter, international law and related UN resolutions.”
He concluded that the Security Council must prioritize ending the Israeli attack, lift the siege of Gaza and ensure humanitarian assistance for “selective approaches and double standards.”
The US veto on June 4 marked the fourth unilateral bloc of the UNSC ceasefire resolution since the Israeli regime began attacks in October 2023.
The resolution, supported by 15 of the 15 council members, including China, Russia, France and the UK, sought to halt Israel’s horrifying operations in Gaza.
Amnesty International branded the veto as “shameful and inhumane” and emphasized it “gives Israel a green light to continue its genocide.”
This pattern of our diplomatic shields is supported by unprecedented military support.
Since October 2023, Washington has promoted over $17.9 billion in weapon transfers to Tel Aviv, including 15,000 bombs, 57,000 artillery fires and a 2,000 pound “buckerbuster.”
In March, the Trump administration promoted $4 billion in so-called emergency military aid, overturning previous restrictions and intensified assaults claiming the lives of more than 62,000 Palestinians.
Foreign Ministry condemns Washington’s “moral bankruptcy”
Similar to Irabani’s condemnation, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmael Baghihai has denounced the US veto as “a direct accomplice in the crimes of the Israeli regime.”
In a statement Thursday, Baghey emphasized that Washington’s isolation reflects “the moral decline of the country’s policymakers in the massacre of Palestinian children and their partnership” as isolation as the sole vote of opposition in the 14-1 UNSC decision.
Baghaei emphasized that the US has exercised its UNSC veto over 50 times in recent decades, sequestering the Israeli regime from accountability and entrenching a culture of immunity.
He urged all countries, particularly Islamic and regional states, to deploy “all personal and collective capabilities” to end genocide, emphasizing that “they cannot defend against the inactions in the face of war crimes and genocide.”
