WANA (Jul 07) – Seyed Abbas Araghchi, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, who is in Brazil to attend the 17th BRICS Summit, met and held talks this afternoon with António Guterres, the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

 

During the meeting, Iran’s Foreign Minister elaborated on the dimensions of the military aggression by the Israeli regime and the United States against Iran, highlighting grave violations of international law—especially attacks on residential areas, the killing of university professors and elites, the assassination of military figures and ordinary civilians, and attacks on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities. He strongly criticized the UN Security Council’s inaction in the face of this blatant aggression.

 

The Iranian Foreign Minister described the U.S. role in cooperating with the Israeli regime to attack Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities as a severe blow to the non-proliferation regime and a violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2231. He emphasized the need to hold the aggressors accountable and to compensate for the damage inflicted.

 

Araghchi also referred to UN Security Council Resolution 487 and called on the Secretary-General to take appropriate action in this regard.

 

The UN Secretary-General, expressing deep concern over developments in recent weeks and the serious threats posed to international peace and security by the military attacks against Iran, underlined his readiness to help reduce tensions.
