Mr. Iravani S/PV.10119 March 11, 2026

I will be brief. A lot of those countries that you mentioned, Mr. President, tell us in private that they were compelled to co- sponsor this resolution (resolution 2817 (2026)) and that, in reality, they do not accept it. As I said in my statement, it is an illegal and illegitimate aggressive war, …

Mr. Iravani S/PV.10119 March 11, 2026

At the outset, I must express our profound regret about the Council’s action today. This is a deeply regrettable day for the Security Council and for the international community. Today’s adoption of resolution 2817 (2026) is a serious setback to the Council’s credibility and leaves a lasting stain …

Mr. Iravani S/PV.10112 Feb. 28, 2026

I have only one more statement. I advise the representative of the United States to be polite. It will be better for him and the country he represents.

Mr. Iravani S/PV.10112 Feb. 28, 2026

We appreciate the Secretary-General for his briefing and his contribution to this meeting. We express our sincere appreciation to the Russian Federation and China for supporting the convening of this emergency meeting of the Security Council to address the manifest aggression committed by the United…

Mr. Iravani S/PV.10106 Feb. 13, 2026

We congratulate the United Kingdom on assuming the presidency of the Council this month and commend Somalia for its successful presidency in January. We thank the Deputy Special Envoy, Mr. Cordone, and the Director of the Financing and Outreach Division of the Office for the Coordination of Humanita…

Mr. Darzi S/PV.10091 Jan. 15, 2026

Let me state from the outset our firm objection to the participation of the so-called representatives of civil society. I must be absolutely clear: both briefers, imposed by the representative of the United States regime under this false label, do not represent Iran’s civil society. They represent …

Mr. Iravani S/PV.10085 Jan. 5, 2026

I thank you, Mr. President, for convening this emergency and important meeting. We acknowledge the presence of the Under-Secretary-General, Ms. DiCarlo, at this meeting, and extend our appreciation to Professor Jeffrey Sachs for his informative and insightful briefing. At the outset, I would like to…

Mr. Iravani S/PV.10079 Dec. 23, 2025

I think that I have mentioned to the representative of the United States that we appreciate any fair and meaningful negotiation but that insisting on a zero-enrichment policy is contrary to our rights as a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. It means that they are not pu…

Mr. Iravani S/PV.10079 Dec. 23, 2025

At the outset, I wish to state clearly Iran’s position regarding the convening of this meeting. We associate ourselves with the positions of our Russian and Chinese colleagues and firmly object to the convening of this meeting. Resolution 2231 (2015) contains a clear, deliberate and self-executing …

Mr. Iravani S/PV.10072 Dec. 18, 2025

We thank Under-Secretary-General DiCarlo and Assistant Secretary General Msuya for their informative briefings. We listened to the views shared by Ms. Jalabi. We note the recent visit by a mission of the Security Council to Syria and Lebanon initiated by Algeria, Denmark and Slovenia and the report…

Mr. Iravani S/PV.10058 Dec. 10, 2025

I congratulate Slovenia on assuming the presidency of the Security Council for this month and I thank you, Madam Minister, for presiding over this meeting. I thank Ms. Gagnon, Deputy Special Representative, and Mr. Fletcher, Under-Secretary-General, for their briefings. We have taken note of the vie…

Mr. Iravani S/PV.10048 Nov. 19, 2025

First, allow me to extend our congratulations to Sierra Leone on assuming the presidency of the Security Council for this month. We also express our appreciation to the Russian Federation for its effective and successful presidency of the Council during the month of October. We thank Deputy Special …

Mr. Araghchi S/PV.10006 Sept. 26, 2025

I will be very brief. I think that, in response to what the French representative said, the Russian colleague said what had to be said. I have only one or two points. He claimed that the inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are not in Iran, but this is absolutely wrong. They …

Mr. Araghchi S/PV.10006 Sept. 26, 2025

Let me begin by expressing our appreciation to Algeria, China, Pakistan and the Russian Federation for voting in favour of draft resolution S/2025/539 in support of diplomacy, the rule of law and Iran has been a long-standing party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) sin…

Mr. Iravani S/PV.10001 Sept. 19, 2025

At the outset, I would like to express my appreciation to Algeria, China, Pakistan and Russia, which have rejected the politics of coercion and upheld the principles of diplomacy, justice and law. We also commend Guyana for its courage in resisting coercion. Their work today showed true commitment t…

Mr. Iravani S/PV.9999 Sept. 18, 2025

We thank the Special Envoy, Mr. Pedersen, and the Under-Secretary-General, Mr. Fletcher, for their informative and insightful briefings. We take note of the statement delivered by Ms. Majd Chourbaji. First, the humanitarian situation in Syria is dire and continues to deteriorate. Critical funding s…

Mr. Iravani S/PV.9998 Sept. 17, 2025

We thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Afghanistan, Ms. Roza Otunbayeva, for her invaluable briefing. We listened carefully to the statement delivered by Ms. Hanifa Girowal. The Islamic Republic of Iran expresses its profound sympathy and solidarity with the people and aut…

Mr. Iravani S/PV.9983 Aug. 21, 2025

Since this is my first intervention this month, allow me to extend my congratulations to you, Mr. President, on Panama’s assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month. We are confident that under your able guidance the Council’s work will be steered successfully. I also wish to…

Mr. Iravani S/PV.9967 July 28, 2025

We thank Special Envoy Pedersen and Ms. Wosornu, Director of Operations and Advocacy of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), for their insightful briefings on the situation in Syria. I wish to make the following points in that regard. First, the Islamic Republic of Iran …

Mr. Gharibabadi S/PV.9963 July 23, 2025

I thank you, Mr. President, for convening this timely open debate. We address the Council amid the ongoing collapse of the international legal order and the erosion of the Charter of the United Nations. Over the past two years, the world has witnessed — with growing outrage — the brutality of the I…
