Iran admonishes UNSC over silence after killing of key officials

Iran's UN envoy condemns Security Council inaction after killings of key officials, warns conflict could spread, details ongoing military operations.

"UNSC'S inaction has caused Israel to become stronger and bolder - Amir-Saeid Iravani"

Tehran, March 19

Iranian Ambassador to United Nations Amir-Saeid Iravani has criticised the United Nation Security Council for its prolonged silence over the killing of the country's key officials - Minister of Intelligence Esmaeil Khatib and National Security Chief Ali Larijani in a letter, reported Al-Jazeeera citing Mehr news agency.

In the letter, Iravani also wrote that UNSC'S inaction has caused Israel to become stronger and bolder in targeting officials.

Iravani also warned that the killings could spread to other countries if left unchecked.

The US-Israel and Iran conflict is now in its third week with both sides showing no signs of stepping back.

Earlier, Iravani formally notified the UN Secretary-General and Security Council that the UAE is "internationally responsible" for providing its territory to the US for attacks, reported state Media.

According to Press TV, Iran is demanding full compensation for all damages from the UAE.

Meanwhile, Iranian armed forces, alongside regional resistance groups, are continuing retaliatory military operations targeting the United States and Israel, according to Press TV.

On Wednesday, March 18, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) and the Iranian Army conducted multiple strikes under the banner of Operation True Promise 4, which was launched in response to an "unprovoked act of aggression" by the US-Israeli coalition against Islamic Republic of Iran on February 28, Press TV reported.

According to Press TV, since the operation began, Iranian forces have carried out 63 waves of missile and drone attacks using advanced weaponry, hitting Israeli military facilities in the occupied territories as well as US bases and assets across the West Asia region.

This comes amid the backdrop of an Iranian attack targeting UAE's Habshan gas facility and the Bab field, which Abu Dhabi called a dangerous escalation and violation of international law.

As the security situation evolves in the region, the United Arab Emirates' Ministry of Defence routinely continues to share the nation's military capabilities actively engaged in defensive operations.

This is so worrying. The UAE getting dragged into this is bad news for stability. So many Indians work in the Gulf. If conflict spreads, it directly impacts our diaspora and oil prices. The international community needs to step in and de-escalate, for everyone's sake. 🙏

63 waves of attacks? This is a full-scale shadow war. While Iran's complaint about UNSC bias might be valid, their actions are making the situation worse. Attacking gas facilities is a serious escalation that hurts global energy security. India must watch this very carefully.

From an Indian perspective, our foreign policy of strategic autonomy is being tested. We have good relations with the UAE, Israel, Iran, and the US. This conflict puts us in a difficult spot. We must advocate for peace and dialogue without taking sides.

The real victims are the ordinary people in the region. When big powers play their games, it's civilians who suffer. India should use its diplomatic weight in forums like the G20 to push for a ceasefire. Our voice for peace matters.

Honestly, Iran demanding compensation from the UAE sounds a bit rich after attacking their infrastructure. The UNSC is ineffective, yes, but every actor here is contributing to the cycle of violence. Where does it end? Hope our government has strong contingency plans for energy and expat safety.
