Iran claims US, Israel to blame for ‘loss of innocent civilian lives’ in deadly protest crackdown
Iran is accusing US President Donald Trump of encouraging political destabilization, inciting violence, and threatening the country’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national security, Iran’s UN Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani writes to the Security Council.
“The United States and the Israeli regime bear direct and undeniable legal responsibility for the resulting loss of innocent civilian lives, particularly among the youth,” he writes in the letter, which was also sent to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
