UN Must Strongly Condemn Iran Terrorist Attack: A Call for Global Unity Against Terrorism

In a recent communication to the United Nations Security Council, the Islamic Republic of Iran has vehemently condemned a terrorist attack in Sistan and Baluchestan, emphasizing the need for a unified global stance against acts of terrorism. The Iranian envoy called for a clear and unequivocal condemnation of this violent incident, highlighting the detrimental effects of double standards in addressing terrorism.

The letter, penned by Iran’s representative, Amir Saeed Iravani, addresses the urgent situation following an attack attributed to the militant group Jaish al-Adl. This event has raised significant concerns regarding regional security and the ongoing threat posed by extremist groups.

The full text of Iravani’s letter reads as follows:

In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

Excellency,

Further to our letter dated 28 July 2025 (A/79/978-S/2025/489), I am writing to draw your urgent attention to yet another heinous terrorist attack committed by the armed terrorist group Jaish al-Adl in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

In the early hours of today afternoon, 22 August, in the Damen district of Iranshahr, Sistan and Baluchestan Province, armed terrorists of Jaish al-Adl ambushed two vehicles carrying Iranian law enforcement officers. This cowardly assault resulted in the martyrdom of five police officers.

The terrorist group of Jaish al-Adl has publicly and unequivocally claimed responsibility for this crime. This atrocity follows another barbaric terrorist attack on 26 July 2025, when three armed members of Jaish al-Adl launched a coordinated assault on a courthouse in Zahedan, the provincial capital of Sistan and Baluchestan. In that deliberate targeting of civilians, six innocent people, including a mother and her six-month-old baby, tragically lost their lives, and 24 others were injured.

These appalling crimes, which deliberately targeted law enforcement officers, civilians, and even children, are flagrant violations of international law, including international humanitarian law. They expose once again the inhumane, terrorist, and extremist nature of Jaish al-Adl and the serious threat it poses to peace and security in the region. This terrorist group continues to operate with links to, and backing from, Daesh-K and foreign sponsors, in blatant impunity.

The Islamic Republic of Iran calls on the Security Council and the Secretary-General to unequivocally condemn this heinous act of terrorism in the strongest possible terms. Any double standards or selective approaches in the condemnation of terrorism are unacceptable and only undermine the credibility of the Security Council.

Furthermore, those who provide support, shelter, or any form of facilitation to such terrorist groups bear full responsibility for their crimes and must be held fully accountable.

I would be grateful if you would circulate this letter as a document of the Security Council and of the General Assembly under agenda item 110, “Measures to eliminate international terrorism.”

Key Points to Note:

  • The attack occurred in the Damen district of Iranshahr, resulting in the deaths of five police officers.
  • Jaish al-Adl claimed responsibility for the attack, highlighting the group’s ongoing threat.
  • The Iranian letter calls for a strong, unified global condemnation of terrorism.
  • The Islamic Republic emphasizes that double standards in addressing terrorism weaken the credibility of international bodies.
  • The letter urges accountability for those who support terrorist organizations.

This recent escalation of violence underscores the urgent need for coordinated international efforts to combat terrorism. The Iranian government has reiterated its commitment to working with global partners to address the challenges posed by extremist groups, stressing that the fight against terrorism must be a collective endeavor.

As the situation develops, Iran continues to advocate for stronger measures to ensure the safety and security of its citizens, as well as to promote stability in the region. The Security Council’s response to this pressing issue will be crucial in shaping the future of counter-terrorism efforts worldwide.

Ultimately, the fight against terrorism requires a united front. The Iranian envoy’s call to action serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggles faced by nations combating extremist violence and the necessity for a comprehensive approach to uphold peace and security.
