Tehran, Iranian Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, has strongly condemned the US aggression on Syrian and Iraqi territories, framing them as illegitimate and unjustified and violate the basic principles of international law, the UN Charter and the territorial integrity and sovereignty of these two countries. The Iranian diplomat's remarks came during a session of the Security Council held Monday. 'The US continues to play a destabilizing role in the region, loot Syrian property and resources and support separatists and terrorist groups there', Iravani said. He added 'Furthermore, people in Syria are experiencing economic hardship and a humanitarian crisis as a result of the United States' hostile and harmful actions, as well as the application of illegal sanctions.' 'All these measures violate international law, the UN Charter, and related Security Council resolutions,' the Iranian diplomat affirmed. Iravani said 'It is evident to everyone that the root causes of the curr ent situation in the region are occupation, aggression, and the continued genocide and horrific atrocities committed by the Israeli regime and fully supported by the US against innocent Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.' According to Iravani the 'US military attacks against the Muslim nations of the region are the continuation of the complicity of this country in the genocide of the Palestinians through all-out support of the occupying regime and preventing any effective international action to hold that regime accountable.' We believe that the only solution to end the conflict in the region and prevent the spillover of the war is to return all to their obligations under international law: that is, to force Israel to stop the genocide in Gaza, to establish an immediate ceasefire, to end the presence of US Forces in Iraq and Syria, and to exert pressure to end the occupation of Palestinian territories by the Israeli regime. Iravani also condemned the joint military actions of the United States a nd the United Kingdom against Yemen, which he said are also a clear violation of the UN Charter and international laws.
