Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations has criticised a resolution passed by the Security Council that demanded an immediate halt to Iranian attacks on Gulf states, calling it politically motivated, AFP reports.

“Today’s action represents a blatant misuse of the Security Council mandate in pursuit of the political agendas of the certain members, the various states responsible for the brutal war of aggression against my country,” Amir Saeid Iravani told the Council.
