Iran has lodged a formal complaint with the United Nations Security Council, protesting recent statements made by U.S. President Donald Trump, which Tehran considers reckless and aggressive. In a letter to the UN, Iran’s UN Ambassador, Amir Saeid Iravani, condemned Trump’s remarks as a violation of international law and the UN Charter. The complaint follows Trump’s recent threats against Iran, warning of potential military action and additional economic sanctions if Tehran refuses to comply with Washington’s demands regarding its nuclear program.
The controversy erupted after Trump stated that the U.S. might resort to bombing Iran if a new nuclear agreement is not reached. He also mentioned the possibility of reintroducing tariffs similar to those imposed four years ago. Iran reacted strongly, with its UN ambassador asserting that the country would respond swiftly to any act of aggression against its sovereignty or national interests.
The tensions between Washington and Tehran have been escalating for weeks. On March 30, Trump issued a stark warning that without a new nuclear deal, military action could be taken against Iran on an unprecedented scale. The Iranian government, however, has dismissed the threats and refused to engage in direct negotiations under pressure. Through Oman, Tehran communicated that it remains open to indirect discussions but will not submit to coercion.
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, reinforced the country’s stance by declaring that any U.S. attack would be met with a strong counteroffensive. He also accused Western nations of fueling unrest within Iran. Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi confirmed that Iran had officially responded to Trump’s statements through Oman, reiterating its opposition to negotiations under Washington’s current approach.
In a further escalation, Iran’s parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Qalibaf, warned that if the U.S. initiates an attack, American military bases in the region would become immediate targets. The heightened rhetoric from both sides signals a worsening crisis, with Iran seeking international backing to counter what it perceives as unlawful threats from the United States.
As tensions continue to mount, the situation remains highly volatile. The future of U.S.-Iran relations now hinges on diplomatic maneuvering and international intervention to
