I wish to take the floor to reply to the so-called representative of the Iranian regime.
The United States strongly rejects this ridiculous and, frankly, farcical assertion that United States actions are inconsistent with international law. For 47 years, the Iranian regime has chanted “death to Ame…

I thank the President for presiding over today’s important meeting.

I thank them for their courage, for their strength and for coming today t…
I thank you, Mr. President, for presiding over this meeting. And I particularly want to thank Ms. De Freitas for her briefing.

Let me begin by stating and reiterating that the United States does not recognize Nicolás Maduro or his cronies as the legitimate Government of Venezuela.

For two agonizing years, Gaza — home to more than 2 million souls — has been a crucible of conflict, a hell on earth, where Hamas’ brutality and terror met Israel’s fierce response, leaving rubble where schools once stood and graves where playgrounds thrived. The death toll climbs into the tens of …
The United States appreciates France’s efforts to incorporate our position into this resolution (resolution 2800 (2025)). Unfortunately, we do not believe that a one-year extension of the mandate or the reduction in the troop ceiling accurately reflects a number of priorities of the Council or the s…
