⚡️ Iran informs UN: US escalating aggression against Iranian people 📌 New York, IRNA – The United States is committing “war crimes” and “further acts of aggression” against the Iranian people, wrote Amir Saeid Iravani, Iran’s ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations, in a communication to the UN chief and the Security Council. “Regrettably, owing to the Council’s continued inaction, the United States is perpetrating further acts of aggression and committing war crimes against the Iranian people in flagrant violation of the Charter of the United Nations and international law, in particular international humanitarian law,” Iravani said in his letter to the President of the UN Security Council, Zénon Mukongo Ngay, and the UN Secretary General, António Guterres. ​ The full text of Iravani’s letter is as follows: ​ In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful ​ Upon instructions from my Government, and further to my previous letters concerning the continued acts of aggression committed by the United States of America against the Islamic Republic of Iran, including in the letter dated 16 July 2026, I wish to draw the urgent attention of the Security Council to the continued and unabated violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iran. ​ Regrettably, owing to the Council’s continued inaction, the United States is perpetrating further acts of aggression and committing war crimes against the Iranian people in flagrant violation of the Charter of the United Nations and international law, in particular international humanitarian law. ​ In this connection, I wish to inform you that, in the continuation of the United States’ ongoing war crimes involving the deliberate targeting of civilians and civilian objects, including critical civilian infrastructure, in the late hours of Thursday, 16 July, and the early hours of Friday, 17 July 2026, the United States carried out a series of extensive military strikes targeting multiple locations across Hormozgan Province. ​ These unlawful attacks have resulted in significant civilian casualties and the systematic destruction of critical transportation infrastructure indispensable to the survival and daily life of the civilian population. ​ The attacks heavily targeted the Bandar Abbas-Lar communication route and the Kahurestan area of Bandar Khamir, resulting in the destruction of several major bridges. Tragically, following the destruction of one such bridge, a civilian vehicle plummeted from the damaged structure, resulting in the martyrdom of seven civilians and the injury of nine others. ​ Furthermore, a deliberate strike on the Tappe Allah Akbar neighborhood of Bandar Abbas resulted in the martyrdom of one civilian and injuries to eight others. Field reports also confirm explosions in the vicinity of Masan village on Qeshm Island, alongside projectile impacts in areas of Bandar Lengeh and Sirik. ​ Civilian railway infrastructure was also subjected to direct military strikes. The Bandar Abbas railway station, which serves as a primary railway junction in southern Iran connecting to the Shahid Rajace port, and forms a crucial node of the International North-South transport corridor, was targeted by United States forces. ​ This attack caused structural damage to the station, injured two individuals, and forced the Iranian Railways Administration to impose restrictions on the movement of passenger trains along this route. Official reports from the competent provincial authorities have confirmed that the strikes destroyed specific civilian structures, including the Gariveh Bridge on the Bandar Abbas-Bandar Khamir-L . . . 📲 ​
