TEHRAN: Iran has warned the United Nations Security Council about the serious consequences of U.S. President Trump’s provocative statements.
Iran’s representative to the United Nations has criticized what he describes as the “careless and provocative remarks” from U.S. President Donald Trump regarding the potential use of military force. He emphasized that “any act of aggression will lead to serious repercussions.”
In a letter to the UN Security Council on Tuesday, Iran’s UN ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani referred to remarks made by Trump in media interviews, in which the US leader suggested stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons could be achieved either “with bombs or with a written piece of paper”.
“I would much rather do a deal that’s not gonna hurt them,” Trump told Fox News on Monday, adding that “I’d love to make a deal with them without bombing them.”
Trump’s latest threats came amid renewed tensions after he reinstated his “maximum pressure” policy against Iran over concerns the country was seeking to develop nuclear weapons
In his letter to the UN Security Council, Iravani protested against what he described as Trump’s “deeply alarming and irresponsible remarks”.
