Pars Today — Iran’s Ambassador to the UN responded to the anti-Iran resolution at the Arab League foreign ministers' meeting in Cairo, stating: Shielding aggressors from accountability will not change legal realities.
Amir Saeed Iravani, Iran's UN ambassador, on Monday night, in response to the anti-Iranian resolution at the Arab League foreign ministers’ meeting in Cairo, sent a letter to UN Secretary-General António Guterres and the current president of the Security Council, saying: “Any attempt to distort realities or to shield the perpetrators of aggression from accountability will neither change legal realities nor absolve the responsible parties of their commitments and international consequences.”
Iravani emphasized: “The Islamic Republic of Iran categorically and unequivocally rejects the mentioned resolution, along with the unfounded, misleading, and politically motivated accusations contained therein. Iran considers this resolution overtly biased, devoid of any real or legal basis, and reflects a deliberate effort to advance a pre-designed political narrative.”
Iran’s Ambassador to the UN further stipulated: “This resolution has clearly omitted a central and undeniable fact; that the United States and the Israeli regime, in gross violation of international law and the UN Charter, have committed acts of aggression and carried out unlawful and unprovoked armed attacks against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Instead, the resolution seeks to distort both the records and facts of the matter, as well as the applicable legal framework, by falsely attributing responsibility to Iran—a country that has been the victim of this unlawful war of aggression.”
Iravani emphasized: “The Islamic Republic of Iran reiterates that any attempt to distort facts or shield the perpetrators of aggression from accountability will neither change legal realities nor absolve those responsible from their international obligations and consequences.”
