The Iranian Foreign Minister has also referred to his meeting with the Secretary General of the UN, Antonio Guterresto whom he has asked “let it be the voice of the international community” and defend the need to “stop Zionist crimes” in the face of the “demonstrated inability of the UN Security Council to resolve the problems.” “The United States has so far obstructed all initiatives in the Security Council,” he lamented.

Araghchi’s warning is the harshest yet issued by an Iranian authority, who until now they had shown some caution without advocating a direct response from Tehran against Israel. The Revolutionary Guard itself condemned the death of its soldier, but made no mention of possible revenge.
