New York (Urdu Point Newspaper Latest - Online. 07 February 2024) Russia and China have criticized the United States for recent airstrikes on targets in Iraq and Syria, accusing the Biden administration of distracting American citizens from its four-year performance. To remove it is destroying the peace in the Middle East.
At the UN Security Council meeting, Washington accused Washington of increasing the risk of regional tensions. Russia says that the recent attacks are linked to the upcoming presidential elections. Russia requested a Security Council meeting after the United States carried out dozens of strikes against Iran-linked targets in Iraq and Syria, following a drone attack on a US base in Jordan that killed three soldiers. . Russia's ambassador to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzia, alleged that the attacks were an attempt by the United States to restore credibility among its citizens. What has been tried is unbearable.
The Russian ambassador said that dozens of people, including civilians, were killed in the clashes, and that international law was being ignored by Washington. Syrian Ambassador Qusay al-Dahhak said that Damascus rejects the use of states as a platform for US election campaigns and displays of brutal force that undermine the principles of collective security.
According to Al Jazeera English, China has also condemned the attacks. Beijing's ambassador, Dang Jun, expressed concern about the escalating tensions, saying that the US claims that it does not want to create conflict in the Middle East or elsewhere. Wanted, but in reality, it is quite the opposite. US military operations are undoubtedly creating new chaos and increasing tension in the region. Iran's Ambassador Saeed Irani said that the US attacks violated international law. And it's a desperate attempt to divert attention from the real cause of the current regional crisis, he said, Israel's US-backed war on Gaza, which has killed more than 27,000 Palestinians.
He said that the claim of attacking Iran's bases in Iraq and Syria is rejected as baseless and considered as an attempt to divert attention from the US aggressive actions. The Iranian ambassador said that the tension in the region The main reason is Israel's aggression and continued genocide and horrific atrocities committed by the Zionist regime, and the full support of the United States against innocent Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. And its strikes in Syria target targets linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which has established proxies in the region through armed groups to counter US influence in the region. The forces in Lebanon and Yemen are working independently, but they have the moral support of Iran, while Iran has no role in the attack on the American base in Jordan. On the other hand, the attacks on Yemen by the United States and Britain continue. It is where the Iranian-backed Houthi movement is disrupting international shipping routes to stop Israel's war on Gaza so that military aid from pro-Israel countries cannot reach them.
