“Right Side Of History”: Iran Praises Russia-China Veto In Hormuz Crisis | APT

Will those in favor of the draft resolution contained in document SL 2026/273 please raise their hand Those against abstensions. The result of the voting is as follows. 11 votes in favor, two votes against, two abstensions. The draft resolution has not been adopted owing to the negative vote of a permanent member of the council. The draft is entirely one-sided, biased It distort the realities on the ground by falsely attribution responsibility to Ian the victims of the aggression while deliberately ignoring the root causes of the current crisis. The text unjustifiably and misleadingly portrays Iran lawful measures in a state of hormos which have been taken in the exercise of its inherent right of self-defense in accordance with the UN charter as threats to international peace and security. At the same time, the text seeks to legitimize subsequent unlawful action by the aggressors and their allies on the pretext of safeguarding freedom of navigation and maritime safety in the straight of Hormos and the Persian Gulf. Iran's lawful actions cannot be viewed in isolation from the broader context of ongoing aggression against its territory and sovereignty. Attempts to portray them as threat to international peace and security are therefore legally unfounded and devoid of any credibility. United States and the Israeli regime at the time their action today prevented the security council from being misused to legitimize aggression. In fact, Russia and China ensured the security council would not be instrumentalized to legitimize aggression and in doing so they stood firmly on right side of the history.
