Iran admonishes UNSC over silence after killing of key officials

Tehran [Iran], March 19 (ANI): Iranian Ambassador to United Nations Amir-Saeid Iravani has criticised the United Nation Security Council (UNSC) for its prolonged silence over the killing of the country's key officials - Minister of Intelligence Esmaeil Khatib and National Security Chief Ali Larijani in a letter, reported Al-Jazeeera citing Mehr news agency.

In the letter, Iravani also wrote that UNSC'S inaction has caused Israel to become stronger and bolder in targeting officials.

Iravani also warned that the killings could spread to other countries if left unchecked.

The US-Israel and Iran conflict is now in its third week with both sides showing no signs of stepping back.

Earlier, Iravani formally notified the UN Secretary-General and Security Council that the UAE is "internationally responsible" for providing its territory to the US for attacks, reported state Media.

According to Press TV, Iran is demanding full compensation for all damages from the UAE.

Meanwhile, Iranian armed forces, alongside regional resistance groups, are continuing retaliatory military operations targeting the United States and Israel, according to Press TV.

On Wednesday, March 18, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) and the Iranian Army conducted multiple strikes under the banner of Operation True Promise 4, which was launched in response to an "unprovoked act of aggression" by the US-Israeli coalition against Islamic Republic of Iran on February 28, Press TV reported.

According to Press TV, since the operation began, Iranian forces have carried out 63 waves of missile and drone attacks using advanced weaponry, hitting Israeli military facilities in the occupied territories as well as US bases and assets across the West Asia region.

This comes amid the backdrop of an Iranian attack targeting UAE's Habshan gas facility and the Bab field, which Abu Dhabi called a dangerous escalation and violation of international law.

As the security situation evolves in the region, the United Arab Emirates' Ministry of Defence routinely continues to share the nation's military capabilities actively engaged in defensive operations. (ANI)
