Russian Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia tells the U.N. Security Council that the U.S. is fueling hysteria over Iran to prepare “strikes aimed at overthrowing an undesirable regime,” accusing Washington and its allies of weaponizing sanctions, backing “color revolution” tactics, and violating the U.N. Charter’s ban on the use or threat of force. He insists Iran’s authorities are stabilizing the situation and honoring their obligations, condemns Western talk of intervention as reckless warmongering that risks a wider regional catastrophe, and calls on Council members to prevent the U.N. from being used to justify unlawful regime change.
