Iran warns US actions threaten Strait of Hormuz security

Gholamhossein Darzi, Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, made the remarks during a session of the UN Security Council on Tuesday, emphasizing that continued US actions threaten the security of the Strait of Hormuz. Regarding the situation in the Middle East, he stated, "Despite the announced ceasefire, Gaza remains devastated and is under siege. The Israeli regime’s occupation continues to violate the ceasefire through continuous military attacks and severe restrictions on humanitarian access." At the same time, the Israeli regime continues to expand its illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, which is a gross and clear violation of international law and the UN Charter. Israel's repeated acts of aggression against Lebanon and continued violations of Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity increasingly threaten regional peace and security, and the continuation of the Israeli regime's illegal actions pose a serious threat to international peace and security, he underlined. The Islamic Republic of Iran once again emphasizes that any credible solution must guarantee a permanent ceasefire, unhindered access to humanitarian aid, complete withdrawal of Israeli occupying forces, and full membership of the Palestinian state in the United Nations, the envoy continued. The issuance of an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on November 21, 2024 against the criminal Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, for committing war crimes and crimes against humanity is a clear reminder that no one is above international law. According to Mehr News, this is a developing story.
