In a letter to the United Nations, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has slammed a Security Council draft resolution which seeks to end tolls and laying sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz, calling it “unilateral and provocative”, according to state broadcaster Press TV.

“Abbas Araghchi emphasised that the responsibility of the international community is not to allow aggressors to misuse the Security Council as a tool to justify their own illegal actions,” Press TV adds.
