Iran’s UN envoy Amir Saeid Iravani has warned the UN Security Council that Israel remains a persistent and serious threat to regional and international peace, citing Tel Aviv’s ceasefire violations and attacks on civilian infrastructure, Mehr News Agency reports.

The Iranian envoy said that achieving genuine collective security in West Asia requires a unified response that directly addresses the main source of instability, which is the occupying regime of Israel.

“The Security Council must act decisively to compel Israel to fully uphold the ceasefire in Lebanon, immediately halt all attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure, and withdraw all its occupying forces,” he said.
