Iran has formally notified the United Nations Security Council of fresh large-scale US military attacks against its territory, urging the Council to take immediate action and warning Washington about the consequences.
In a letter addressed to the Council and the UN secretary-general on Wednesday, Iran’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani protested the US’s fresh “blatant violation” of the UN Charter and its international obligations by launching and continuing to launch such unprovoked acts of aggression against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic.
The letter came a day after extensive US strikes against southern Iranian areas leading to material damage and martyrdom of several Iranian servicemen, and shortly after American aircraft renewed assaults against a broad range of targets still lying in the country’s south.

Reporting on the renewed attacks, Iranian media outlets cited strikes on the southern cities of Chabahar, where a hospital and electricity infrastructure were targeted, Iranshahr, where a fatality occurred, and Bushehr among several other places.
The letter reminded that the aggression also breached a Pakistan-mediated memorandum of understanding signed between the two sides last month following more than 100 days of similarly unwarranted American-Israeli attacks against the whole country.
It further asserted that by "repeatedly and deliberately" violating those commitments, the United States had "fundamentally repudiated the Memorandum of Understanding and bears full international responsibility for all legal and political consequences arising from its unlawful conduct and dangerous escalation."
Iran condemns the violations "in the strongest possible terms,” the letter read, adding that the breaches “further demonstrates the United States' complete disregard for its international legal obligations."
The ambassador called on the Security Council and the UN secretary-general to fulfill their responsibilities under the UN Charter by taking "immediate, effective, and decisive measures" to halt the violations and ensure Washington’s accountability.
He, meanwhile, regretted that the Council’s inaction in such cases has rather “emboldened the United States to continue and further escalate its unlawful use of force against the Islamic Republic, thereby undermining the authority of the Council and jeopardizing international peace and security."
In conclusion, Iravani reiterated that the United States bears “full and unequivocal responsibility” for all consequences arising from its violations.
