Iran Criticizes UN, EU for Silence Amid US-Israel Strikes

Iran has accused the United Nations (UN) and the European Union (EU) of maintaining silence as the United States and Israel intensify their military actions against Tehran. Iranian Ambassador to Nigeria, Gholamreza Mahdavi Raja, criticized these international bodies for their lack of decisive action, claiming it emboldens aggression in the region and undermines global security.

He highlighted the absence of a strong diplomatic intervention from the UN Security Council, which he argued risks losing credibility. Raja emphasized that Iran's military actions are defensive, targeting American bases in response to attacks on Iranian leadership, and insisted that Iran does not seek war.

He warned that the ongoing crisis could have far-reaching consequences for the global economy, particularly affecting energy markets and oil prices, especially through the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The article also noted that the US Senate rejected a resolution aimed at curbing President Trump's war powers, further complicating the political landscape.
