Iran has called on the international community to act against what it described as threats of “atrocious acts,” following recent remarks by US President Donald Trump.
In a statement posted on X, Iran’s mission to the United Nations condemned Trump’s comments, saying he is threatening “to destroy infrastructure essential to civilian survival” in the country.
“If the conscience of the United Nations were alive, it would not remain silent in the face of the overt and shameless threat by the war-mongering President of the United States to target civilian infrastructure. Trump seeks to drag the region into an endless war,” the mission said.
“This is direct and public incitement to terrorise civilians and clear evidence of intent to commit [a] war crime,” it added.
“The international community and all States have legal obligations to prevent such atrocious acts of war crimes. They must act now. Tomorrow is too late.”
