8:21Now PlayingWorld News: Iran’s UN Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani delivered a fiery and defiant speech at the United Nations, launching a direct attack on the United States and Israel amid escalating tensions over the Iran war and the Strait of Hormuz.
In a powerful address, Iravani rejected allegations from opposing states and accused Washington and its allies of fueling conflict in the region. He slammed what he called an “illegal and savage war of aggression by the United States and Israel against Iran,” warning that recent actions risk further destabilizing global security.
The Iranian envoy strongly criticized U.S. moves in the region, saying the “maritime blockade announced by the United States constitutes a grave violation of sovereignty” and called it a “flagrant breach of international law.” He also asserted that “the United States must bear full responsibility” for the consequences of its actions.
In one of the most explosive moments, Iravani declared that “the United States and Israeli regime have crossed every legal, moral and humanitarian boundary,” accusing them of “committing war crimes by deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure.”
He further expressed “deep mistrust of the United States stemming from its repeated betrayal of diplomacy,” while still signaling cautious openness to negotiations if Washington adopts a lawful and constructive approach.
The speech also emphasized Iran’s stance on maritime security, asserting its commitment to freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz while condemning foreign interference. Iravani highlighted the importance of sovereignty, international law, and regional stability, while acknowledging diplomatic efforts by countries like Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, China, and Russia.
The heated UN debate comes as divisions deepen among global powers following the failure of a key resolution, raising concerns over further escalation in the Middle East. Watch the full speech and key moments from this intense UN session.
