Iran urges UN Security Council to hold US, Israel accountable for General Soleimani assassination
Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Iran to the United Nations, Majid Takht Ravanchi, in a letter called on the UN Security Council to hold US and Israel responsible for assassinating Lieutenant General Qasem Soleimani, IRNA reported.
“Given the dire implications of this terrorist act on international peace and security, the Security Council must live up to its Charter-based responsibilities and hold the United States and the Israeli regime to account for planning, supporting and committing that terrorist act,” Takht Ravanchi said, in particular, in his letter to President of the UN Security Council, Mona Juul.
General Soleimani and former Iraqi Mobilization Unit Forces commander Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis along with eight other companions were killed in a US army drone attack on January 3, 2020 in Baghdad.
