Iran accuses 4 Arab countries of facilitating Israeli and American attacks on its territory

The Islamic Republic of Iran has escalated its diplomatic rhetoric towards its neighbors, with its permanent representative to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, directly accusing four Arab countries of facilitating military operations against his country. Sources reported that Iravani sent separate official letters to the UN Secretary-General and the President of the Security Council, concerning Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait, accusing them of opening their airspace and territories to American and Israeli forces.

Iranian messages clarified that these accusations are based on precise monitoring operations and field assessments conducted by the Iranian armed forces during the past period. Tehran affirmed that the United States and Israel continue to exploit the military infrastructure and airspace of these Gulf countries to carry out what it described as 'illegal military operations' targeting Iranian depth, which constitutes a violation of international conventions.

Iran's mission in New York demanded that the mentioned Arab countries adhere to the principles of good neighborliness and fulfill their international responsibilities, which require preventing the use of their territories as a launching pad for hostile acts against other countries. The messages stressed that the continuation of this situation threatens regional stability, calling on the concerned governments to take immediate steps to stop this military cooperation that directly affects Iranian sovereignty.

In a related context, Tehran affirmed that while fully respecting the sovereignty of neighboring countries, it will not hesitate to exercise its legitimate right to self-defense as guaranteed by international law. Sources indicated that the Iranian leadership reserves the right to take all necessary measures to protect its political independence and territorial integrity, in a clear reference to the possibility of expanding the scope of military response to include sources of threat in the region.

This diplomatic move comes amidst an unprecedented military escalation that began last late February, where Israel and the United States launched a series of attacks that resulted in significant human losses among the Iranian leadership. In response, Tehran continues its retaliations by launching drones and missiles, and targeting what it describes as American interests in the region, amid official silence from the four Arab countries regarding the recent accusations leveled against them in the halls of the United Nations.

Iran reserves the right to take all measures, including the right to self-defense, to protect its sovereignty, territorial integrity, and political independence.
