Iran's envoy to the UN: If America is committed to diplomacy, end the blockade now.
Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, Golmahossein Darzi, told the Security Council that Tehran has never closed the door to diplomacy, but Washington has chosen aggression and threats at every corner.
He said repeated violations by the U.S. have created deep mistrust, and outlined the way forward: Washington must immediately cease its aggression, provide credible guarantees of non-repeal, respect Iran's sovereignty, lift the naval blockade and all illegal unilateral sanctions, and demonstrate its commitment to practical diplomacy.
Darzi warned that any renewed US-Israeli aggression will receive an immediate and decisive response aimed at its source, wherever it may be, and that Iran will continue to take all necessary measures to protect its people, its security and territorial integrity.
