US UN ambassador rebuffs Iran letter on Trump protest warning

Jan 3, 2026, 07:37 GMT+0Updated: 01:38 GMT+0

US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz on Friday dismissed an Iranian letter urging the UN to condemn President Donald Trump’s remarks on protests.

“The Iranian regime’s whining to the UN ignores decades of sponsoring terrorism and crushing their own people,” Waltz said.

“America and [President Trump] stand firmly with Iranians yearning for freedom!”

Iran sent the letter on Friday after Trump said Washington was “locked and loaded” to intervene if Iranian authorities kill protesters.
