Iran Urges UN Action Against Trump's 'Unlawful Threats' Amidst Protests

  • Iran's UN Ambassador Amir Saeed Iravani urged UN Secretary-General and UNSC to condemn Donald Trump's "unlawful threats" against Tehran.
  • Trump stated the US was "locked and loaded" to intervene if more protesters were killed in Iran's ongoing demonstrations over cost of living.
  • Iravani called Trump's statements a "serious violation" of the UN Charter and international law, holding the US responsible for escalation.
  • Protests continue across Iran, sparked by economic crisis, high prices, and inflation; at least 7 killed and 44 arrested.
  • Iranian leaders, including President Masoud Pezeshkian, acknowledged government's fault and promised solutions amidst the crisis.
