Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations has dismissed US allegations regarding a drone strike against the Barakah nuclear power plant in the United Arab Emirates, saying Washington abused the Security Council to spread false accusations against Iran and its peaceful nuclear program.
In identical letters addressed to the UN Secretary General and the President of the Security Council, Amir Saeid Iravani said that the US Ambassador to the UN falsely accused Iran of responsibility for the alleged assault without providing any verified evidence.
Iran categorically rejects this allegation. Iran itself has been the victim of attacks and acts of aggression by the United States and the Israeli regime against its safeguarded peaceful nuclear facilities, the letter read.
The senior diplomat denounced it as deeply ironic that the US — the only country ever to have used nuclear weapons and itself responsible, together with the Israeli regime, for attacks against safeguarded Iranian nuclear facilities — now claims concern for nuclear safety and security.
Iravani stated that the Washington and Tel Aviv regimes and their malicious activities in West Asia are the main source of regional instability. He underscored that the United States and Israel must bear full responsibility for the harm inflicted upon Iranian civilians, civilian infrastructure, and peaceful nuclear facilities during their acts of aggression.
