Iran filed a complaint with UN over threats from Saudi Arabia

Almaty. November 9. Silkroadnews - Iran has filed a complaint with the UN on the threats from Saudi Arabia, the Iranian Telegraph Agency (IrTAG) reports with reference to Mehr news agency.
“Iran’s UN envoy described Saudi Arabia’s anti-Iran allegations as “baseless and unfounded”, while calling for international community’s pressure on Riyadh to stop threatening other countries with the military action,” the report said.
Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations, Gholamali Khoshroo, stated this in a letter sent to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and the President of the Security Council.
“The Government of Iran strongly condemns the baseless and unfounded allegations made by the Saudi authorities against the Islamic Republic of Iran and describes them as destructive and provocative in clear contradiction with article 4, paragraph 2 of the United Nations Charter, which is the prohibition of threat or use of force in international relations,” he said.
“These provocative measures have no propose but to divert public opinion away from Saudi Arabia’s criminal actions against Yemen,” Khoshroo emphasized.
The Iranian envoy noted that the humanitarian catastrophe in Yemen has become even more serious after the recent measures taken by the Saudi Arabia coalition that closed the air, land and sea links with Yemen at the time when cholera and famine reigned there. The international community must recognize Saudi Arabia as responsible for all these crimes, he added.
According to Khoshroo, after more than two and a half years of attacks and massacres of innocent people in Yemen, the government of Saudi Arabia and its allies must finally understand that Yemen’s issue does not have a military solution, the only way to find a solution in the issue is to start a political process with all Yemeni groups taking part in.
In the letter he stressed that provocations and threats could lead to further destabilization in the region.
