Iran complained to the United Nations Security Council on Monday about "reckless and belligerent" remarks by US President Donald Trump
Iran formally lodged a complaint with the United Nations Security Council on Monday, condemning what it described as “reckless and belligerent” statements made by U.S. President Donald Trump. The complaint referred specifically to Trump's recent remarks in which he threatened Iran with bombing and the imposition of secondary tariffs if Tehran did not comply with demands related to its nuclear program.
In a letter submitted to the Security Council, Iran’s UN Ambassador accused the United States of violating international law and the foundational principles of the UN Charter. The letter emphasized that such rhetoric undermines global peace and stability, calling Trump's threats “a flagrant violation” of diplomatic norms.
The Iranian envoy reiterated that Tehran seeks peaceful engagement but warned that it would not tolerate any form of military aggression. According to the letter, Iran would “decisively act” in self-defense against any direct attack or action by U.S. forces or those of its allied proxies. The statement included a clear warning that the responsibility for any escalation would rest squarely on Washington’s shoulders.
This development comes amid renewed tensions surrounding Iran’s nuclear ambitions, with the United States demanding a new agreement to replace the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which the Trump administration previously exited in 2018. Iran has since ramped up uranium enrichment and signaled that it no longer feels bound by the original deal, citing repeated U.S. violations and international inaction.
Diplomatic observers at the UN have noted the seriousness of the language used in the Iranian letter, describing it as one of the most direct formal condemnations of U.S. foreign policy since the height of past military tensions. The UN has yet to issue a formal response.
