Russian envoy says UNSC may consider US spying case against Iran

Russia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nation Vitaly Churkin said the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) may consider the US spying case against Iran. Churkin whose country holds the rotating chairmanship of the UNSC told IRNA that Tehran’s letter to appose Washington’s violation of Iran’s airspace was registered as a United Nations document. He said the UN Security Council could hold a meeting on the issue if Iran extended such a demand. Following the downing of a US spying drone flying inside Iran’s air space, Tehran sent letters to the UN secretary general, the General Assembly and the Security Council urging them to condemn such acts and adopt necessary measures to put an end to similar unlawful and threatening behaviors by Washington.
