Iran has formally requested urgent intervention from the United Nations Security Council to address escalating military tensions, according to a diplomatic letter dated February 28, 2026. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi characterized recent operations by US and Israeli forces as "unlawful use of force" requiring immediate international response.
The appeal comes amid heightened regional instability, with Araghchi emphasizing the Security Council's responsibility to "maintain international peace and security." While specific details of the alleged attacks remain undisclosed, the letter underscores growing concerns about military escalation in strategic Middle Eastern corridors.
Analysts note this development follows months of strained diplomatic relations between Tehran and Western powers. The UNSC's 15 member states are expected to review the request during their next scheduled session, though procedural timelines remain unclear.
