Iran criticizes the US and Bahrain for distorting the Security Council in its rejection before the UN

By Wiliam Varela

Rejection of the US and Bahrain resolution

El embajador de Irán ante Naciones Unidas, Amir Saeid Iravani, expresó su rechazo al proyecto de resolución presentado por USA y Bahréin sobre el estrecho de Ormuz. En su intervención, calificó el documento de “defectuoso”, “parcial” y con “motivaciones políticas”.

Iravani argumentó que la resolución sostiene que sus acciones buscan proteger la libertad de navegación en la zona, pero, según él, las acusaciones contra Irán son infundadas. “Los hechos sobre el terreno demuestran lo contrario”, afirmó. El embajador subrayó que las acciones de USA contradicen sus propios objetivos declarados, intensificando las tensiones y la inestabilidad en la región.

Desde Teherán, se ha instado al Consejo de Seguridad a no dejarse llevar By las “distorsiones” de Washington en relación al Derecho Internacional. Irán sostiene que el país norteamericano utiliza cualquier oportunidad para justificar agresiones o el uso ilícito de la fuerza. En este contexto, la República Islámica reafirma su confianza en la diplomacia y su postura clara sobre la situación en el estrecho de Ormuz.

“La única solución viable es el fin definitivo de la guerra, el levantamiento del bloqueo marítimo y el restablecimiento del paso normal”, enfatizó Iravani, dejando claro que la resolución del conflicto requiere un enfoque pacífico.

Expectations of negotiations and growing tensions

In the midst of this climate of tension, the Secretary of State of the United States, Marco Rubio, spoke out about the situation. During his visit to Italy and the Vatican, Rubio stated that he hopes to receive a response from Iran to his latest offer of negotiations. However, he does not consider this response to be a certainty, given the increase in hostilities in the last week, where he has pointed out Tehran as the only one responsible.

Rubio compartió con los medios su expectativa de que la respuesta iraní “podría llegar hoy en algún momento”. No obstante, también advirtió sobre la fragmentación y disfuncionalidad del sistema de Gobierno iraní, lo que podría complicar el proceso de negociación.

The situation in the Strait of Hormuz is critical, as it is one of the most important shipping routes in the world. Any disruption to shipping can have global repercussions, especially on oil supplies. The international community is closely watching the movements of both parties, in a context where diplomacy seems to be the only viable solution.

Tensions in the region have increased in recent months, with incidents involving commercial and military vessels. Rhetoric between Iran and the United States has intensified, leading to a climate of uncertainty in the energy market and maritime security.

Iravani, in his defense, has reiterated that Iran is committed to peace and stability in the region. However, he has also made it clear that he will not tolerate what he considers unjustified attacks. Tehran's position is firm: any attempt to intervene will be met with determination.

The international community is at a critical point, where the decisions made in the coming days could define the direction of relations in the region. Attention is focused on Iran's response to the United States' offer of negotiations, which could be a step towards de-escalation or, on the contrary, a new chapter of confrontation.

The Strait of Hormuz, which connects the Persian Gulf to the Sea of ​​Oman, is vital for global trade. Approximately 20% of the world's oil transits this route, making any conflict a matter of international interest. The current situation not only affects the countries involved, but has implications for the global economy.

The next few hours will be crucial to determine whether progress is made towards a constructive dialogue or whether tensions will continue to escalate. The international community is carefully awaiting the outcome of this situation, which could have repercussions beyond the borders of Iran and the United States.

El embajador Iravani concluyó su intervención con un mensaje claro: “La paz es el único camino”.
