Iran's permanent representative to the United Nations, Amir Saeed Iravani, stated that the United States' accusations against his country of supporting the Houthis are unfounded. In a letter to the rotating president of the Security Council, he emphasized that Iran has always "consistently advocated for a peaceful resolution to the Yemeni crisis through diplomatic channels." He firmly rejected the American accusations, stating that Iran has repeatedly declared its commitment to relevant Security Council resolutions regarding the situation in Yemen and has not engaged in activities that violate those resolutions.
Iravani made clear that Iran is "committed to a peaceful resolution of the Yemeni crisis through diplomatic means and has expressed its commitment to maritime security and freedom of navigation." He argued that "the U.S. is committing aggressive acts against Yemen's sovereignty and territorial integrity, blatantly violating international laws, the United Nations Charter, and relevant Security Council resolutions."
Furthermore, he added that "these blatant violations endanger regional peace and stability, hinder efforts to reach a peaceful resolution in Yemen, and exacerbate the dire humanitarian crisis afflicting the country." He concluded by stating, "The United States bears full responsibility for these serious violations and cannot deny its responsibility. Therefore, the use of failed tactics, the spreading of lies, and misinformation campaigns about the situation in Yemen cannot justify or legitimize the U.S. aggression against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country."
