Iran’s representative in UN declared that Zionists’ occupation of Palestine, US invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the foreign interventions in Syria and Yemen all are the manifestations of aggression to which UN Charter has referred.
"It could be understood that aggression in its classic and common sense is still the root of hostilities. Zionists’ occupation of Palestine, US invasion of  Iraq in 2003, and the foreign interventions in Syria and Yemen all are the manifestations of aggression to which UN Charter has referred. Yet the continuation of that aggression has tarnished the horizon of peace in these regions”, Iranian ambassador and permanent representative in UN Gholamali Khoshru, declared in UN on Tuesday.

Despite some of the UN’s  accomplishments  in reducing war among countries, he said, violence has increased and spread throughout the world. Currently, conflicts and hostilities is taking place within countries in the form of terrorism and extremism, terror attacks, and internationally organized crimes against which UN has no plan to fight.

Khoshru said that UN and its new Secretary General must bravely face the contemporary challenges with a political will and mobilize their forces to prevent hostilities and maintain permanent and sustainable peace.
