The United States on Monday called on Iran to end its funding and support for regional proxies during a meeting of the UN Security Council, urging Tehran to prioritize the needs and prosperity of the Iranian people.
“At this historic turning point, Iran’s leaders have an opportunity to finally put their people first—to choose prosperity and integration into the community of nations rather than supporting terrorism and pursuing nuclear weapons,” said John Kelly, Acting US Alternate Representative.
“We state again: Iran will never have a nuclear weapon,” he told a UN Security Council session on the Middle East.
Kelly also urged Iran to end its support for regional proxies. “The United States calls on Iran to end its sponsorship of terrorist groups and proxies, including Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis."
