Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations has strongly rejected the US’s accusations against the Islamic Republic of “destabilizing” Syria, calling them “baseless” and a deliberate distortion of reality aimed at misleading the international community.

According to The Iran Project, Addressing a UN Security Council session on Syria on Wednesday, Amir Saeid Iravani condemned Washington’s narrative, highlighting its own violations of the Syrian sovereignty under the pretext of counterterrorism.

“The accusations made by the US representative against my country are completely unfounded,” he said. “These claims are crafted solely to distort the truth and mislead the international community.”

The reality is that the United States has long violated Syria’s sovereignty, provided safe havens for terrorist groups, and supported Israel’s aggression—all in pursuit of its geopolitical ambitions.”

The envoy was responding to remarks made by Deputy US Ambassador to the world body, Dorothy Shea, who had alleged that Iran “continued to back” militant groups inside Syria and was seeking to “reestablish its military presence” in the war-torn country.

Iravani categorically dismissed the claims, emphasizing that Iran remained committed to Syria’s sovereignty, stability, and territorial integrity.
