Iran has formally accused the United States of using UAE territory and airspace to carry out and support attacks against the Islamic Republic, according to letters submitted to the United Nations Security Council and the UN Secretary-General.

Iran’s representative to the United Nations, Amir Saeed Iravani, sent two identical letters to UN Secretary-General António Guterres and the President of the Security Council.

In the letters, Iran accused the United States of continuing to use UAE territory for the planning, preparation, and execution of "illegal acts against Iran."

Tehran holds US and 'Israel' responsible

Iran also held the US and the Israeli occupation responsible for bombing its space infrastructure and civilian communications systems, describing such actions as "state terrorism" and a flagrant violation of the UN charter and the Outer Space Treaty.

The Iranian envoy stated that specific incidents, dates, and violations had been documented, detailing that UAE territory had been used in aggression against Iran.

In earlier letters to the UN, Iravani called on Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to prevent their territories from being used in actions against the Islamic Republic.

In letters addressed to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the Chair of the UN Security Council (UNSC), currently Bahrain, Iravani stressed that Iran “strongly requests” both countries adhere to the principles of good neighborliness and ensure that their land is not used against it.

Iran asserts right to self-defense

While reaffirming Iran’s commitment to good neighborly relations and respect for the sovereignty of both Saudi Arabia and the UAE, Iravani emphasized that Tehran retains its right to respond.

He stated that Iran reserves “the right to take all necessary and appropriate measures,” which includes exercising its inherent right to self-defense, to safeguard its sovereignty, territorial integrity, and political independence.
