Violation of the UN weapons sanctions against Yemen by Iran is baseless

Amir Saeed Irvani, the ambassador and permanent representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations, said Tuesday at a public meeting of the UN Security Council on “Strengthening Maritime Security through international cooperation for global stability”: Maritime security should not be selective or interpretations. This must be globally, based on international law, the principle of non -discrimination, and full respect for the sovereignty of governments Iran He still adheres to international maritime law and cooperates with all stakeholders to remain open, secure, and rule the law, not for force.

The full text of the ambassador and the permanent representative of Iran to the United Nations is as follows:

Believe me Allah al -Rahman al -Rahim

Congratulations to Greece on the (periodic) presidency of the Security Council, I appreciate this public meeting for this public meeting.

Freedom of shipping is one of the pillars of international law and maritime security is an essential element in its protection. These principles support global peace and stability and the continuous flow of international trade.

However, these principles today with increasing and serious threats including; Pirates, transnational organized crimes, trafficking, and cyber attacks against maritime infrastructure.

These challenges have also been exacerbated by coercive unilateral actions, the continued military presence of some powers, aggressive measures, and maritime security politicization under the pretext of protecting freedom of shipping.

Mr. Chairman

The Islamic Republic of Iran, as a coastal country with widespread borders in the Persian Gulf and the Oman Sea, has always played an important role in promoting safety and stability of the Strait of Hormuz.

Our naval forces also play a key role in securing strategic crossings, including the Strait Bab al -Mandeb And they have the northern ocean of India, ensuring the safe passage of commercial ships and tankers, contributing to the strengthening of regional and international maritime security.

Mr. Chairman

Iran has always emphasized that sustainable maritime stability requires inclusive regional cooperation. Unfortunately, unilateral coercive acts, especially the US cross -border sanctions imposed by the United States, undermine collective efforts.

These illegal measures disrupt legitimate trade relations, lead to illegal seizure of Iranian oil cargoes, and violate international law and the UN Charter, thus endangering the security of global navigation.

Sea security should not be selective or be subordinate to unilateral interpretations. This must be maintained globally, based on international law, the principle of non -discrimination, and full respect for the sovereignty of governments.

Iran continues to adhere to international maritime law and cooperates with all stakeholders to remain open, safe, and under the rule of law, not for force.

Before the end of my remarks, I would like to decide the baseless and political allegations made by the US and the Zionist regime.

These accusations are not only misleading, but also deliberate efforts to distort the realities of the region to deviate from the roots of instability and insecurity in the Red Sea and beyond.

Iran's claim to be violated by the UN weapons sanctions against Yemen is quite baseless. Iran has always rejected any participation in activities that are contrary to Security Council resolutions. Resolution 2 (1) has been repeatedly abused by the United States to justify unilateral and illegal actions beyond the authority of the Security Council.

Mr. Chairman

Let me explicitly say: The roots of instability in the Red Sea and all over the region, in the constant crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza and rape and rape Occupations Its continuation lies throughout the region, with the full support of the United States and in an atmosphere of absolute immunity.

This fact cannot be ignored or diverted by disseminating incorrect information. The Security Council must address these reasons and protect the international legal order on which global peace and security is based.
