Iran urges UN to condemn US and Israel in call with secretary-general

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi urged the United Nations to condemn what he described as US and Israeli aggression during a call with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, state media reported on Tuesday.

Araghchi said countries concerned with peace and security should condemn the actions of the United States and Israel and call for an end to military operations against Iran.

He said disruption to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz was "a result of the imposed war by the United States and the Israeli regime" and could not be separated from the broader regional situation.
