Iran accuses US of making ‘provocative statements’ about Tehran’s ties to the Houthis
Iran complains to the United Nations Security Council that US President Donald Trump and other US officials have made “reckless and provocative statements” that leveled “baseless accusations” and threatened the use of force against Tehran.
“Iran strongly and categorically rejects any accusation on the violation of relevant Security Council resolutions on arms embargoes in Yemen or involvement in any destabilizing activities in the region,” Iran’s UN Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani writes in the letter, seen by Reuters.
Earlier today, Trump said that the US would hold Iran directly responsible for any further Houthi attacks, and that there would be “dire” consequences in store.
