TEHRAN – Iran’s ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations has described the situation in West Asia as “very grave.” This is the result of the interventionist policies and militarism of certain foreign countries, persistent armed conflicts, and the Israeli regime’s genocide.
Amirsaeed Iravani pointed out that such illegal moves would be exacerbated by the imposition of unilateral coercive measures.
“Such actions violate fundamental human rights, including disrupting the right to development, trade, financial support, and legitimate investment, and diminishing the sovereign equality of governments,” the diplomats added at the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York.
“Such moves also intensify the destruction of the environment and pose serious risks to the lives and health of children, women, the elderly and people with special medical conditions.”
Irabani said such a situation continually hinders the region’s development and reinforces the challenges it faces on a daily basis. He also touched on the Israeli regime and the US military attack on Iran.
“On June 13, 2025, the Israeli regime, supported by the United States, launched a major military attack against the Islamic Republic of Iran, which was followed by an illegal (US) attack on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities on June 22,” he said.
“These strikes were a blatant violation of the United Nations Charter, international law and international humanitarian law,” Iravani explained.
“These attacks deliberately targeted civilians, hospitals, media, and critical infrastructure. This undermines international peace and security and poses a serious threat to the Non-Proliferation Treaty,” Iravani stressed.
“Such an illegal move not only constitutes a serious violation of international law and the United Nations Charter, but also puts human health, ecosystems and vital resources at risk of radioactive and toxic releases whose dangers transcend boundaries,” he said.
“Such moves destroy trust, overshadow cooperation and divert the international community from its common responsibility to protect current and future generations alike. It is therefore necessary that such moves stop and that global efforts to counter environmental challenges remain halted,” he explained.
“Unilateralism threatens the world and undermines the foundations of peace, stability and development,” Irabani said.
The West has long turned a blind eye to Israeli atrocities and continues to provide political and financial support to the Tel Aviv regime. Western states also cracked down on dissent to silence people’s voices.
