Iran condemns US as possible Kmart defender of terror in region

Amir-Saeed Iravani made the remarks in a letter addressed to the world body’s Security Council (UNSC) on Monday.
He wrote the message in reaction to allegations that had been leveled by the American UN envoy Linda Thomas-Greenfield at a UNSC briefing earlier in the month. Using the event, which was being held under the agenda of "threat to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts," the American official had accused the Islamic Republic of “supporting terrorism in the region.”
Iravani called the accusation “unwarranted and misleading,” saying Thomas-Greenfield had deviated from the briefing’s agenda by bringing up such an allegation.
“The Islamic Republic categorically rejects and strongly condemns this baseless allegation and irresponsible behavior by the United States’ representative,” he added.
“It is unequivocally clear that the United States, not Iran, is the primary advocate and propagator of terrorism, both in the region and globally,” the envoy asserted.
‘Ironclad support for Israeli terror’
Iravani said it was “both ironic and shameful” that the United States was throwing such accusation against the Islamic Republic at the same time as providing staunch political and military support for the Israeli regime’s ongoing war of genocide against the Gaza Strip.
Nearly 40,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed in the brutal military onslaught that began on October 7 last year.
Last month, The New York Times revealed that the US had armed the regime with upwards of 25,000 bombs and missiles since the onset of the war.
