“In terms of international law, the destabilizing activities of the unilateralist coalition undermine the United Nations Charter, violate the basic principles of international law, and threaten the fundamentals of international peace and security. By supporting the Israeli regime of ‘a biological crisis,’ the United States keeps violating the rules of the game that it once created. This trend is undoubtedly accelerating the decline of the US’ hegemony,” Jalali wrote in his recent op-ed published by Russian media Tass.
The UN Charter barred the organization’s members from using and threatening to use force in international relations “against the territorial integrity and political independence of any state,” he added.
“Paragraph 7 of Article 2 also strictly forbids any interference in matters that fall under the domestic jurisdiction of member states” Jalali stressed.
“From the standpoint of regional developments, the events of January 8 should be viewed as a continuation of a chain of events that began in June 2025 and the 12-day war waged by the Israeli regime and the United States against Iran,” he said.
“This time, the Iranian government was engaged in negotiations, reconciliation efforts, and a search for ways to resolve the problem when Israeli terrorist units suddenly began operating in various cities, using peaceful workers’ demonstrations as a tool of proxy warfare under the guise of chaos and riots,” he added.
Jalali noted that an analysis of the key players’ actions during the period in question shows “a shift in tactics and a turn to violence following the failure to achieve the stated objectives.”
He called Trump the “architect and implementer of the policy of maximum pressure and sanctions,” who sends “absurd and contradictory signals about supporting, saving, or ‘protecting the Iranian people.’”
The unrest erupted a week ago after terror groups hijacked peaceful protests that had begun days earlier over economic issues. The protests morphed into scenes of violence while the Iranian government was in talks with the protesters’ representatives to hear their demands.
The US threw its weight behind the unrest by encouraging Iranian people to join violent protests while Trump publicly pledged help and even threatened to intervene militarily.
On January 10, 2026, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei delivered a speech to thousands of Iranian people he met in Tehran, holding the US responsible for the latest unrest.
