New York: Iran’s representative to the Security Council announced that the nation’s armed forces will determine the timing, nature, and extent of the appropriate response to recent events. This statement underscores Iran’s stance on maintaining control over its military decisions in the face of international tensions.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, the Iranian representative expressed appreciation for those Security Council members who condemned what was described as American aggression. The representative criticized the United States’ actions, suggesting that President Trump had to directly engage in aggressive measures following Israel’s purported inability to fulfill Western objectives.

Further comments from Iran’s representative emphasized the perceived recklessness of the United States in prioritizing the protection of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s interests over its own security. The representative also condemned the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for what was described as double standards, labeling it as a moral and political scandal. The remarks reflect ongoing frustrations with international policies and actions perceived as biased against Iran.
