New York (Web Desk): Speaking at a United Nations Security Counci (UNSC) meeting, Iran's Ambassador, Gholam Hossein Dehghani, referred to the Trump administration as the "American regime."

He emphasized that Iran has no intention of engaging in any form of escalation or conflict but made it clear that if aggression is imposed on Iran, the country would respond forcefully.

Dehghani clarified that this was not a threat, but rather a statement based on facts, and warned that the responsibility for any consequences would lie with those initiating illegal actions. He also condemned the US for calling the Security Council meeting on Iran, labeling it as a shameful move.

The Iranian ambassador further accused the US and Israel of pushing their agenda under the guise of representing Iranian civil society. He pointed out that Iranian officials had sacrificed their lives to protect citizens. Dehghani also criticized the US representative for resorting to lies and misinformation during the meeting.
