The Foreign Minister of Iran strongly condemned the unilateral and bullying actions of the United States against other countries and said, "The threat of resorting to force against other independent developing countries is a clear violation of the UN Charter and a clear danger to international peace and security, and it is necessary for all responsible governments to understand the current serious conditions and prevent the spread of lawlessness and insecurity."
