'Gaza is rightful land of Palestinians': Iran rebukes US plan for forced relocation of Gazans
Stressing that the Gaza Strip is the rightful land of the Palestinian people, Iravani said the Security Council must resolve conflicts through multilateral cooperation and not coercion.
“The Security Council must uphold its mandate to resolve conflicts through multilateral cooperation. However, its current structure fails to reflect global power shifts and the legitimate aspirations of the Global South. To restore its credibility, the Council must become more representative, democratic, and accountable," the envoy said.
The Iranian diplomat censured the United States for abusing its veto power to shield Israel from accountability for its systematic violations of international law during its decades-long crimes against Palestinians.
"Regrettably, certain permanent members have repeatedly exploited the Council to advance ... own political interests. A glaring example is the United States' persistent use of its veto to shield Israel from accountability for its systematic violations of international law and the UN Charter, particularly its genocidal crimes against the Palestinian people and acts of aggression against other nations in the region," Iravani said.
"Gaza is the rightful land of the Palestinian people and Iran strongly condemns the US colonial plan to forcibly displace and uproot Palestinians from their own land, a flagrant violation of international law and a grave assault on fundamental human rights," he added.
The envoy also emphasized that the United States and its Western allies, who enforce unlawful unilateral coercive measures, must be held accountable for the suffering, death, and destruction they cause to targeted nations.
