Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister, Kazem Qaribabadi, has rejected the draft resolution for the UN Security Council promoted by the United States and Gulf allies, with the exception of Oman. Tehran described the initiative as an attempt to divert attention and warned that any text ignoring the actions of the U.S. and Israel against Iran is doomed to fail.
Iranian defense technology: missiles and drones as a diplomatic response 🚀
As diplomacy tightens, Iran has showcased advances in its ballistic missile and precision drone programs. The Persian nation has developed systems such as the Kheibar Shekan, with a range of 1,450 km, and the Shahed-136, used in regional conflicts. These systems allow Tehran to project power without relying on conventional weaponry. Air defense has also been improved with long-range radars and electronic jamming systems aimed at neutralizing external threats.
The UN and the art of ignoring the elephant in the room 🐘
It seems the UN has decided to play a game of musical chairs, but with resolutions. While Iran points fingers at bombs falling from other sides, the drafters of the text prefer to look the other way. Perhaps the next draft will include a footnote saying: This doesn't apply to you, gentlemen from Washington and Tel Aviv. Meanwhile, the sanctions keep ringing, and no one sits down.
