Amir Saeid Iravani, Iran’s permanent representative to the United Nations, said in a Monday letter addressed to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and UN Security Council President José de la Gasca Lopezdominguez that Tehran categorically rejects the “baseless allegations” and “unwarranted references” made against the Islamic Republic in a letter dated 13 November 2023 from the representative of the Zionist regime addressed to the president of the Security Council.
The Zionist regime sought to “justify and cover up its ongoing violations of UNSCR 1559 (2004) and 1701 (2006), its genocidal aggression against the innocent people of Palestine in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and its disruptive, vicious, and terrorist actions in the region,” he wrote.
“Accordingly, its endeavors to shift blame onto Iran are entirely unfounded and lack any legal basis.”
He further stressed that Iran considers the Israeli regime’s dissemination of unfounded allegations nothing more than a desperate attempt to sidestep its accountability for its documented war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity committed in occupied Palestine.
In another letter, Iravani dismissed the Zionist regime’s letters dated November 30 to Lopezdominguez, saying that in those letters, the representative of the Israeli regime has once again “resorted to falsehoods and disseminating misinformation” to level unsubstantiated allegations against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
“I would like to emphasize that the Islamic Republic of Iran has consistently adhered to the provisions of Security Council Resolution 2231 (2015) and remains steadfast in fulfilling its obligations under the Resolution,” he noted.
“It is ironic that Israel, an apartheid and occupying regime, consistently violates very basic and established norms and principles of international law, the United Nations Charter, and UN resolutions, yet accuses Iran of violating UNSC resolution 2231.”
In a separate letter addressed to the president of the Security Council, the Iranian envoy strongly condemned and rejected the baseless accusations leveled by the representative of the United Kingdom against Tehran during a UN Security Council open briefing held on November 29, 2023, under the agenda item “The situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian Question.”
“Undoubtedly, the United Kingdom has certainly played a pivotal role in the prolonged suffering and distress endured by the Palestinian people. The ominous roots of this plight can be traced back to the Balfour Declaration, signaling the commencement of nearly a century of hardship for the Palestinians,” he wrote.
He maintained that the UK’s “unwavering” support for Israeli atrocities and genocidal aggression against the Palestinian people and regional countries diminishes its moral authority to license judgment on the intentions and policies of others.
In yet another letter addressed to Lopezdominguez, Iravani rejected the allegations made against Tehran by the permanent representative of the US to the UN dated November 28.
He made clear that Iran has not been part of any acts or attacks against US military forces in the region.
Iran regards these unfounded allegations as a deliberate attempt by the United States, the occupying State, to justify and decriminalize its persistent criminal acts of aggression and serious violations of international law and the United Nations Charter within the Syrian Arab Republic and the region.
