00:00Mr. President, the situation in Iran is fluid and deeply concerning.
00:13Protests continue, albeit reportedly at a smaller scale than last week.
00:19In this context, we note with alarm various public statements suggesting possible military strikes on Iran.
00:27This external dimension adds volatility to an already combustible situation.
00:37All efforts must be undertaken to prevent any further deterioration.
00:43The Secretary General remains convinced that all concerns regarding Iran, including those related to the nuclear issue and ongoing protests,
00:54are best addressed through diplomacy and dialogue.
01:00He urges maximum restraint at this sensitive moment and calls on all actors to refrain from any actions that could lead to further loss of life or ignite a wider regional escalation.
01:16Representative of the United States.
01:22President Donald J. Trump and the United States of America stands by the brave people of Iran.
01:28Period.
01:29And regardless of its excuses, and you will hear many today from the Iranian regime and from its friends,
01:38the regime is solely, solely responsible for the economic misery of the Iranian people and the repression of their freedom,
01:48and they will be held accountable.
01:51Thank you, Mr. President, for chairing today's important meeting.
01:55I would like to address the allegation put forward by the regime that these inspired protests are somehow a foreign plot to give a precursor to military action.
02:11Everyone in the world needs to know that the regime is weaker than ever before
02:15and therefore is putting forward this lie because of the power of the Iranian people in the streets.
02:23They are afraid.
02:25They're afraid of their own people.
02:29Iran says it's ready for dialogue, but its actions say otherwise.
02:35This is a regime that rules through oppression, through violence, and through intimidation
02:40and has destabilized the Middle East for decades.
02:45Well, enough is enough.
02:47We all have a responsibility to support the Iranian people
02:52and to put an end to the regime's neglect and oppression of the Iranian nation.
02:59Colleagues, let me be clear, President Trump is a man of action, not endless talk like we see at the United Nations.
03:11He has made it clear all options are on the table to stop the slaughter,
03:17and no one should know that better than the leadership of the Iranian regime.
03:22Thank you, Mr. President.
03:29Thank you, Mr. President.
