Iran's Foreign Minister recently called on member states at the United Nations to condemn what he described as "violations of international law" by the United States and Israel.

The Iranian diplomat's comments come at a time of heightened diplomatic tensions, with Iran facing increasing pressure from the international community over its nuclear program and human rights record. The move is seen as a clear attempt by Iran to shift the focus of the international community away from its own alleged transgressions and onto the actions of its perceived enemies.
