Iran has lodged a formal complaint with the United Nations against the United States, accusing it of “piracy” following the seizure of Iranian vessels amid escalating maritime tensions. In a letter addressed to António Guterres and the UN Security Council, Iran’s envoy Amir Saeid Iravani argued that Washington’s actions lack legal basis under international law. He stated that reliance on domestic laws cannot justify forceful maritime interceptions. The move intensifies the ongoing US-Iran confrontation and raises concerns about adherence to global maritime norms and the broader implications for international security.
