Iran Denies Violating U.N. Arms Embargo on Yemen: Strong Rebuttal to Allegations

In a recent U.N. Security Council meeting, Amir-Saeid Iravani, the Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations, firmly rejected claims that Iran violated the U.N. arms embargo on Yemen. This statement comes amidst ongoing discussions about maritime security and international cooperation.

Iravani’s remarks were made during a session titled “Strengthening Maritime Security through International Cooperation for Global Stability” held in New York. He emphasized that Iran has consistently denied any involvement in activities that would breach Security Council resolutions.

Here are some key points from his speech:

  • Congratulations to Greece: Iravani acknowledged Greece for assuming the presidency of the Security Council and expressed gratitude for convening the open debate.
  • Importance of Maritime Security: He highlighted that freedom of navigation is vital for international law, supporting global peace and the uninterrupted flow of trade.
  • Growing Threats: Iravani pointed out serious threats to maritime security, including:
    • Piracy
    • Transnational organized crime
    • Trafficking
    • Cyberattacks on maritime infrastructure
  • Impact of Unilateral Measures: He criticized unilateral coercive measures, especially U.S. extraterritorial sanctions, which he claims undermine collective efforts for maritime stability.
  • Iran’s Commitment: Iran remains committed to international maritime law and seeks cooperation with all stakeholders to maintain secure sea lanes governed by the rule of law.
  • Rejection of Accusations: Iravani categorically rejected accusations from the U.S. and Israeli representatives, stating they are misleading and politically motivated.
  • Root Causes of Instability: He asserted that the root causes of instability in the Red Sea region stem from ongoing Israeli actions in Gaza, supported by the U.S.

In conclusion, Iravani called for the Security Council to address these underlying issues to uphold the international legal order necessary for global maritime peace and security. He underscored that the allegations of Iran violating the arms embargo are unfounded and misused to justify unlawful actions.
