00:00In accordance with undeniable evidence, it is deeply regrettable that the representative
00:10of the United States regime who requested this meeting has today resorted to lies,
00:20distortion of facts and deliberate misinformation, to conceal his country's direct involvement
00:31in steering unrest in Iran to violence.
00:37Any threat to use of force against the Islamic Republic of Iran under any pretext, including
00:43claims of protecting protesters or supporting the Iranian people, constitute a grave and
00:52manifest violation of international law and the UN Charter.
00:58Such unlawful actions directly breach Article 2.4, which prohibits the threat or use of force,
01:06and Article 2.7, which ensures the principle of non-intervention.
01:14No rule of doctrine, narrative, or political justification can legitimize unilateral military
01:21action or coercion without explicit Security Council authorization under Chapter 7, invoking
01:31humanitarian rhetoric to justify force in a deliberate abuse of international law.
01:40Iran seeks neither escalation nor confrontation.
01:44However, any act of aggression, direct or indirect, will be met with a decisive, proportionate,
01:53and lawful response under Article 51 of the Charter.
01:59This is not a threat.
02:01It is a statement of legal reality.
02:06Responsibility for all consequences will rest solely with those who initiate such unlawful
02:12acts.
