Iran's Foreign Minister Condemns Assassination of Supreme Leader, Appeals to UN Chief and Security Council

Tehran. Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, has sent letters to United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the Security Council, strongly objecting to the assassination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Following Khamenei's death in a military strike carried out by the United States and Israel, Iran has defined the act as a serious violation of international law and a cowardly act of terrorism.

In the letter addressed to the UN, Foreign Minister Araghchi stated that this incident is a dangerous and unprecedented provocation. He claimed that such an act attacks the conduct between civilized nations and the fundamental principles of the state. 

Araghchi stated, 'Such behavior not only violates established international principles but also opens Pandora's box, ending sovereign equality and the stability of the global system.'

Iran has urged the Secretary-General and the Security Council to fulfill the responsibilities entrusted to them by the UN Charter to maintain world peace and security. Through the letter, Iran demanded immediate, concrete, and effective steps to hold the US and Israeli regimes fully accountable for this heinous terrorist act.
