Iran has filed an official protest at the United Nations Security Council against US President Donald Trump’s threat to conduct military strikes against the country.

Axar.az reports Iran's Permanent Representative and Ambassador to the United Nations, Amir Saeed Iravani, wrote in a letter to President of the Security Council Christina Markus Lassen and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres that the United States will be fully responsible for the grave consequences of any hostile action against the Islamic Republic.

"The President of the United States, since taking office in January 2025, has disregarded and violated all international norms and principles upon which the United Nations was founded. He consistently threatens independent nations with the use of force, a pattern that sets a dangerous precedent in international relations. It is deeply regrettable and concerning that the United States, a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, blatantly ignores its obligations under the U.N. Charter and wields military power as its primary tool of coercion to advance its political and geopolitical objectives.

In light of these grave violations and their potential consequences, the Islamic Republic of Iran urges the U.N. Security Council to fulfill its responsibility under the U.N. Charter to maintain international peace and security. The Security Council must unequivocally condemn the U.S. President’s threats as violations of international law and the U.N. Charter, and demand that the United States uphold its legal obligations under international law and the U.N. Charter. The Security Council and the International Community cannot remain silent in the face of such warmongering provocations. Failure to act risks catastrophic consequences not only for the region but for international peace and security," the letter stated.
