TEHRAN – The United States will seek to boost its case for United Nationsaction against Iran when Security Council envoys visit Washington on Mondayto view pieces of weapons that US Ambassador Nikki Haley claims Tehran gaveto Yemen’s Houthi group.link>link>link>link>

The Trump administration has for months been lobbying for Iran to be heldaccountable at the United Nations, while at the same time threatening toquit the 2015 deal between Tehran and world power, according to Reuters.

The UN ambassadors will visit a military hangar at Joint BaseAnacostia-Bolling near Washington, where Haley, the US envoy to the UnitedNations, last month presented remnants of what the Pentagon claimed was anIranian-made ballistic missile fired from Yemen on Nov. 4 at Saudi Arabia’scapital Riyadh, as well as other weapons.

The Yemeni launch had been a response to the brutal military aggression bySaudi Arabia and its allies, which has killed thousands of Yemeni civiliansever since it began in 2015. The Houthi movement has said it will continueto launch such retaliatory attacks against aggressor regimes.

Iran has strongly denied the US accusations, describing the arms displayedin Washington as “fabricated.”

After Haley’s presentation, the UN, too, said it had no conclusive evidenceto determine the provenance of the missile.

Following her show at the UN, Iran’s Ambassador to the United NationsGholam Ali Khoshroo also rejected Haley’s claim as “baseless” and said theaccusations are aimed at covering up the Saudi war crimes in Yemen with theUS complicity.

The US hype comes even as America and other Western countries, such asBritain, France, and Germany, are known to have struck major arms dealswith the Saudi regime in the wake of the deadly war.

The US alone has sealed a deal worth 350 billion dollars in arms sales toSaudi Arabia.
