US ambassador accuses Iran of inciting Hezbollah, threatening 'Israel'
The US ambassador to the United Nations Security Council, Dorothy Shea, issued a series of urgent statements on Friday condemning Iran's recent actions in the escalating conflict with 'Israel'. She accused the Iranian government of encouraging Hezbollah to open a front from Lebanon and repeatedly calling for the destruction of 'Israel'. Shea also condemned Iran for launching both direct and proxy attacks against 'Israeli' civilians, emphasizing that these acts violate international norms. Addressing nuclear tensions, she warned that Iran would gain nothing from escalating its disputes with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and urged Tehran to abandon its ambitions to acquire nuclear weapons. Shea delivered her remarks during a UN Security Council meeting on threats to international peace and security, held at United Nations headquarters in Washington, DC, on June 20, 2025. The Council convened an emergency session to address the rapidly escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. The meeting was requested by Iran and supported by Algeria, China, Pakistan, and Russia. United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres also addressed the Council, calling for an immediate ceasefire and de-escalation. 'There are times when the choices before us are not just important but decisive. We are at such a moment — a moment that will determine not only the fate of nations but perhaps our shared future,' he said. Guterres warned that the violence between Iran and 'Israel' was pushing the region to the brink, stating, 'We are not being pushed into a crisis; we are rushing toward one. These are not isolated incidents — we are heading down a path of potential chaos.' 'The widening scope of this conflict could ignite a powder keg no one can control. We cannot allow that to happen,' he said, renewing his call to end the fighting and resume serious negotiations. 'Let us not look back on this critical moment with regret. Let us act responsibly together to save the region and the world from the brink.'

Iran calls nuclear talks with US 'meaningless' after 'Israel's' military strike
Iran declared on Friday that ongoing nuclear negotiations with the United States have become 'meaningless' following 'Israel's' largest-ever military strike against Iranian targets. Tehran accused Washington of enabling the attack by supporting 'Israel's' actions. 'The US has acted in a way that undermines the dialogue. You cannot claim to negotiate while allowing the Zionist regime to attack Iranian territory,' said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei, as reported by the semi-official Tasnim news agency. Baghaei further claimed that 'Israel' 'influenced' the diplomatic process and suggested the 'Israeli' strike would not have been possible without US approval. Earlier, Iran accused the US of complicity in the 'Israeli' attacks, allegations that Washington strongly denied. Speaking at the United Nations Security Council, US officials urged Tehran to continue negotiations, calling it 'wise' to engage diplomatically over its nuclear program. The sixth round of US-Iran nuclear talks was scheduled for Sunday in Muscat, Oman, but the impact of the recent 'Israeli' strike has cast doubt over whether the talks will proceed.

Jordan Denounces Israeli Plan to Build 22 New Settlements in the West Bank - Jordan News
Jordan Denounces Israeli Plan to Build 22 New Settlements in the West Bank Jordan has strongly condemned Israel's recent approval of plans to build 22 new settlements in the occupied West Bank, describing the move as a serious breach of international law and a direct assault on Palestinian rights. اضافة اعلان In a statement on Thursday, the Ministry of Foreign and Expatriates Affairs said the decision constitutes a "flagrant violation of international law and international humanitarian law," and undermines prospects for peace by entrenching the occupation. The ministry warned that such unilateral actions further erode the viability of a two-state solution by impeding the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital. Ministry spokesperson Ambassador Sufyan Qudah reiterated Jordan's outright rejection of the settlement expansion, calling it a violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334. The resolution reaffirms the illegality of all Israeli settlement activity in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, and demands an immediate halt to such practices. Qudah noted that the Israeli decision also contradicts the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice, which deemed the settlements unlawful and called for the end of the occupation. He stressed that Israel's continued construction and expansion of settlements reflect a deliberate disregard for international appeals to cease these activities. "All measures and decisions taken by Israel in the occupied West Bank are null and void," Qudah said, adding that Israel holds no sovereignty over Palestinian land. He urged the international community to assume its legal and moral responsibilities by taking concrete steps to halt Israel's ongoing military operations in Gaza, curb the escalation in the West Bank, and ensure the protection of the Palestinian people. The statement also called for renewed efforts to support Palestinians in realizing their legitimate rights, including the right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent state.
