Amir Saeed Iravani said, “By order of my Government, and further to the letters dated on March 3, 7, 9 and 16, 2026, in response to the correspondence of the Permanent Missions of Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to the United Nations addressed to the President of the UN Security Council, including the correspondence dated March 17, 2026, I would like to bring the following to the attention of Your Excellency and the members of the Security Council:”
Since the beginning of the illegal military aggression against Iran on February 28, 2026, the territory of Qatar and some other neighboring countries has been used by the aggressors to carry out attacks against Iran.
The illegality of providing the territory to the aggressors, as an internationally wrongful act, had previously been communicated to the Qatari authorities and had also been published as an official document of the UN Security Council
As a result of the international violation of Qatar,
Kuwait, and the UAE’s assistance to the aggressors, they have targeted thousands of civilians and civilian objects in the Islamic Republic of Iran, he said, adding that these actions are in a gross violation of the principles of mutual respect and good neighborliness.
The Islamic Republic of Iran, within the framework of exercising its inherent right of self-defense, believes that any military bases and installations of the aggressors that are used to launch or support armed attacks against its territory can be considered a legitimate military target and reserves its right to take necessary and proportionate measures to prevent further civilian casualties and damage.
It is emphasized once again that Islamic Republic of Iran has always observed the principle of good neighborliness with the Persian Gulf littoral states. Unfortunately, this principle has not been taken into consideration by Qatar, the UAE and Kuwait, and these countries have allowed the US to use their territories to launch and continue armed attacks against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Qatar's internationally wrongful acts have brought about the realization of that country's international responsibility and require compensation, including payment of compensation for all material and moral damages caused to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
I would be grateful if you would order that this letter be circulated as an official document of the UN Security Council.
