Transcript
00:00Iran's envoy to the UN calls on the Security Council to take action after claims that U.S. President Donald
00:06Trump admits efforts to arm groups inside Iran.
00:10Amir Syed Iravani describes the remarks as a clear admission of inciting violence and bloodshed within the country.
00:19In a letter to the UN Secretary General and the Security Council, he said the move showed attempts to turn
00:25peaceful protest into undress and violence.
00:27He argued that these remarks support Iran's long-standing claim that the U.S. has played a role in regional
00:34instability.
00:35Trump had earlier said that the weapons sent by Washington to Tehran were intended for people to defend themselves, but
00:42they were retained by certain unnamed individuals.
00:45However, he did not identify who kept the weapons, although some reports suggested he blamed Kurdish intimidaries for diverting them.
