Iran called on the United Nations on Friday to formally denounce recent threats made by the United States and "Israel" against the Iranian Leader, Sayyed Ali Khamenei. The appeal was made by Iran’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Amir Saeid Iravani, who submitted a formal letter addressing what he described as violations of international law and incitement to state terrorism.

In the letter, Iravani condemned a recent statement by US President Donald Trump, who wrote on Truth Social that he "knew exactly" where Sayyed Khamenei was but refrained from allowing "Israel" or the US military to "terminate his life." Trump also claimed he had prevented what he called an "ugly and ignominious death" for the Iranian leader.

"Such reckless and deliberate threats by senior officials constitute a serious violation of the Charter of the United Nations, particularly Article 2(4), which unequivocally prohibits both the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State," Iravani stated. He added that these actions breached well-established principles of international law, including the inviolability of Heads of State.

The letter was directed to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, UN Security Council President for June, Guyana's Ambassador to the UN Carolyn Rodriguez-Birkett, and UN General Assembly President Philemon Yang.

Iran’s Permanent Mission to the UN took to X to reiterate its stance, stating that it was urging the UN leadership to "discharge their legal responsibilities against such criminal and provocative rhetoric."

Iravani called on the United Nations to take appropriate measures to ensure accountability for what he described as "internationally wrongful acts" committed by both the US and "Israel."

The diplomatic dispute comes in the wake of escalating tensions between Tehran and Washington. On Thursday, Sayyed Khamenei declared Iran's victory over "Israel" following a 12-day confrontation. He also asserted that Iran had emerged victorious in its faceoff with the United States, referring to recent US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

The call for a UN condemnation marks a renewed push by Iran to counter what it sees as growing aggression from both Washington and "Tel Aviv," highlighting broader concerns over regional stability and international law.
