Iran Urges UN to Condemn Trump’s Remarks, Warns of Consequences

Iran alerted the United Nations on Tuesday to what it called “reckless and inflammatory statements” by former U.S. President Donald Trump, warning that any act of aggression would have “severe consequences.” Iran’s UN envoy urged the Security Council to condemn Trump’s rhetoric.

In a letter to the UN Security Council, Iran’s Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani accused Trump of violating international law with remarks made in interviews, where he expressed a preference for a deal to stop Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons but did not rule out military action.

Iravani warned that Iran would “resolutely defend its sovereignty” and hold the U.S. fully responsible for any escalation. His letter also criticised the revival of Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign, which aims to cut Iran’s oil exports to curb its nuclear programme.

Iran denies pursuing nuclear weapons but has accelerated uranium enrichment to 60% purity—close to weapons-grade levels. President Masoud Pezeshkian questioned Washington’s sincerity, while Tehran continues to resist U.S. pressure, calling the policies unlawful.
