UN General Assembly

Iran continues to extend its war with Iraq to non-participants by arrogating to itself the right to attack non-belligerent countries, assault the interests of other countries, and threaten international navigation in the Gulf. This perverted and dangerous logic is the main reason for the instability, extreme tension, and deplorable deterioration of the situation in the Gulf region. If Iran assumes the right to attack countries not parties to the conflict, then it is only natural that each country in the region has the full right to defend itself against aggression.
