US Complicit in Israeli Assassination of Nasrallah: Iran’s FM
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi held the US accountable for its complicity in the Israeli regime’s crimes, including the fatal strike that resulted in the martyrdom of Hezbollah leader Seyed Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut on September 27.
In a post on his X account on Saturday night, Araqchi said he has reminded the United Nations of its responsibility to rein in the Israeli regime at a meeting with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
“In meeting with UNSG, stressed that Security Council's inaction -due to obstructions of US and other Israel supporters- is a major cause of ongoing atrocities and adventurism by the illegitimate Israeli regime,” the Iranian foreign minister said.
“Nevertheless, UNSG's legal and moral responsibilities under the UN Charter oblige him (Guterres) to be a voice of the international community against aggression and genocide, and to use powers under the Charter to mobilize decisive action to reign in the aggressor. I reminded UNSG that the US is certainly complicit in Israel's crimes and aggression in Gaza and Lebanon. I noted specifically that Lebanese resistance leader Seyed Hassan Nasrallah was martyred in an operation involving US-gifted 5,000-pound bunker-busters,” he added.
“I.R. Iran is determined in its defense of its vital national and security interests and in countering the Israeli regime's vicious actions. Iran stands with Lebanon,” Araqchi stated.
