Скачать или смотреть Iran’s Final Warning at UN: Tehran Accuses U.S. and Israel of Steering Unrest

Tensions reached a boiling point at the United Nations on January 15, 2026, as an emergency session of the Security Council was called to address the ongoing crisis in Iran. Iranian Deputy Permanent Representative Gholamhossein Darzi delivered a forceful address, accusing the United States and Israel of direct involvement in "steering unrest" and orchestrating what he described as a foreign-led plot to destabilize the nation. This statement follows a week of near-total internet blackouts and reports of significant casualties during nationwide protests triggered by economic collapse and currency devaluation.
​During the session, which was requested by the United States, Ambassador Mike Waltz stated that President Donald Trump is monitoring the situation closely and that "all options are on the table" to stop the lethal crackdown. In response, Darzi warned that any threat or use of force against Iran would constitute a grave violation of the UN Charter and would be met with a "decisive, proportionate, and lawful response" under Article 51. The Iranian mission to the UN further criticized the U.S. administration for utilizing sanctions and engineered chaos to manufacture a pretext for military intervention.
​The debate also featured harrowing testimony from Iranian civil society members, including Masih Alinejad, who accused the regime of conducting an "unprecedented slaughter" behind the veil of a communications blackout. While Western ambassadors from France and the UK called for the immediate release of detainees and a halt to executions, Tehran’s representatives maintained that security forces are exercising restraint against "terrorist elements." This analysis examines the legal arguments, historical references, and the potential for regional escalation as military assets move into the Middle East.
