New Delhi, March 1: Amid escalating attacks in the Middle East, the United States has issued a new statement at the United Nations, defending its actions against Iran. The US emphasized that the safety of its allies is “not contingent upon conditions.”
During an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council, US Ambassador Mike Waltz defended military actions against Iran. He stated, “Iran’s continuous attempts to advance its missile capabilities and its refusal to abandon nuclear ambitions, despite diplomatic opportunities, pose a serious and growing threat.”
Waltz reiterated the US stance on Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons, asserting, “The international community has long affirmed a simple and necessary principle: Iran cannot possess nuclear weapons. This principle is not a political issue; it is a matter of global security, and that is why the US is taking action.”
He argued that Washington, under President Donald Trump, had repeatedly made diplomatic efforts, but blamed Iran for failing to comply. “American diplomacy has been attempted repeatedly and in good faith. Diplomacy cannot succeed when there is no genuine desire to halt attacks, where there is no true partner for peace,” he said.
Waltz accused Iran of undermining the council’s credibility, stating, “It is unfortunate that this government is now trying to lecture us on human rights and the rule of law. Its presence in this council mocks the UN.”
Referring to attacks on regional partners such as Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, and Jordan, Waltz noted that these actions demonstrate why US measures are necessary.
He added, “Those who stand with us must know that their security cannot be bargained. The safety of our allies is non-negotiable. Peace is not maintained by appeasing those who threaten it. Peace is sustained through strength against terror.”
On the other hand, President Donald Trump reiterated his stance against Iran, stating on Truth Social, “Iran has just said they will launch a very strong attack today, stronger than ever before. But they better not, because if they do, we will respond with a force the likes of which the world has never seen.”
