The Foreign Ministry statement read that this type of irresponsible stance, which is a continuation of America’s bullying and illegal approach towards the Iranian nation, is not only a gross violation of the fundamental principles and rules of the United Nations Charter and international law in respecting the national sovereignty of countries, but also constitutes incitement to violence and terrorism against Iranian citizens.
Recalling the long history of criminal interventions by various US governments in Iranian affairs, the Foreign Ministry considers the claim of compassion for the great Iranian nation to be hypocritical and intended to deceive public opinion and cover up the numerous crimes committed against Iranians.
The Foreign Ministry poibted out the duties and responsibilities of the United Nations Security Council and the Secretary-General in accordance with the Charter to safeguard international peace and security against the belligerent unilateralism of the United States, and emphasizes that Iranians will not allow any malicious interference in their dialogue and interaction with each other to resolve problems.
Complicity in planning and executing the shameful coup of August 1953, cooperation with Saddam's regime in the 8-year war against the Iranians, the downing of an Iranian passenger plane in 1988 and the killing of 300 innocent people over the Persian Gulf, complicity and partnership with the Israeli regime in attacking vital infrastructure, the nuclear facilities under Iranian safeguards in June 2025, the terror and killing of Iranians, and the cruel and inhuman sanctions of the past few decades that have targeted the fundamental rights and livelihoods of Iranians are clear examples of America's hostility towards the Iranian people, it added.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs assesses the threatening statements made by American officials against Iran as being in line with the Zionist regime policy of escalating tensions in the region and emphasizes that the Islamic Republic of Iran's response to any aggression will be swift, decisive, and comprehensive.
