Iran has formally brought its concerns to the United Nations Security Council regarding recent threats made by U.S. President Donald Trump toward the Islamic Republic.
In a letter obtained by Reuters, Iran’s ambassador to the UN, Amir Saeid Iravani, condemned the comments, labeling them “reckless and belligerent” as well as “a flagrant violation of international law.”
The letter, submitted by the Iranian diplomat, included a warning from Tehran, stating that the country “strongly warns against any military adventurism and will respond swiftly and decisively to any act of aggression or attack by the United States or its proxy, the Israeli regime, against its sovereignty, territorial integrity, or national interests.”
This diplomatic escalation followed remarks made by Trump just a day earlier, in which he declared, “if they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing — and it will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before.”
In a defiant response, Iran’s state-run Tehran Times posted on X, formerly Twitter, that the nation’s missiles are “loaded onto launchers in all underground missile cities and are ready for launch.”
Trump later upped the pressure again, floating the possibility of enacting secondary tariffs against Iran if the country refuses to reach an agreement on its nuclear ambitions.
The rhetoric intensified further on Monday when Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a stern warning to the U.S. president, cautioning that any American aggression would result in a “strong blow.”
Adding to the tension, Khamenei’s advisor, Ali Larijani, stated that should the U.S. or Israel initiate an attack on Iran, the Islamic Republic would feel compelled to pursue the development of a nuclear weapon.
