The Russian permanent representative to the United Nations criticized Western countries for abusing the UNSC in putting pressure on the countries they dislike and meddling in their internal affairs at an interview with TASS on February 10.

The situation around Iran is a striking example, he said, adding that the Americans and their allies were bent on denouncing the Iranian government at a meeting of the UNSC held at the request of the US in January this year.

The overt threat to use military strength against Iran and violent agitation against the legitimate government are directly contrary to the fundamental principle of the UN Charter, but Western countries have ignored this, he disclosed.
