United Nations, Jun 23 (AP) Acting US Ambassador Dorothy Shear reiterated President Donald Trump’s warning at an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council that “any Iranian attack – direct or indirect – against Americans or American bases will be met with devastating retaliation.” She said at the meeting on Sunday called by Iran that the US acted in defence of Israel and American citizens to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon after it “obfuscated” about its nuclear weapons programme and “stonewalled good-faith efforts in recent negotiations”.
Shea urged the Security Council to call on Iran to end its 47-year effort to eradicate Israel, terminate its nuclear programme, stop targeting Americans and US interests and “negotiate peace in good faith”. (AP) SCY SCY
