Letter to UN chief, UNSC comes after Trump says US will intervene if Tehran violently suppresses protests.
Iran’s UN ambassador Amir Saeed Iravani urged the UN to condemn U.S. President Trump’s threats of intervention amidst ongoing protests over economic issues in Iran. Following Trump’s comments that the U.S. is prepared to act if protesters are harmed, Iravani emphasized this as a violation of Iran’s sovereignty and international law. Protests have resulted in at least nine deaths, with Iranian leaders adopting a more conciliatory tone compared to previous responses. As tensions escalate, President Masoud Pezeshkian has pledged to address the economic crisis while warning against external aggression.
