Iran protests to UN over US “unlawful use of force”

Iran’s ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, has formally protested what he described as the latest U.S. aggression against Iran in a letter addressed to the UN secretary-general and the president of the UN Security Council.

In the letter, dated Wednesday, July 8, Iravani said Washington bears responsibility for the consequences of its actions.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran reiterates that the United States bears full and unequivocal responsibility for all consequences arising from its unlawful use of force and for the grave threat that its unlawful actions pose to international peace and security,” the letter reads.
