At the U.N. Security Council on Monday, China’s ambassador, Zhang Jun, broadly accused the United States of using excessive force around the world and manipulating public opinion about its intentions.
The Security Council has frequently been a platform for U.S. and Russia’s spats over Ukraine, Syria and, most recently, the war in Gaza.
“Iran has never sought to bring its dispute with the United States into Iraq’s territory,” Mr. Iravani told the Council, reiterating Iran’s stance that it does not seek a war with the United States.
Algeria, the only Arab member of the Council, has drafted a new resolution calling for a permanent cease-fire in Gaza.
The attacks killed 1,200 people and led to the abduction to Gaza of 240 others, Israeli officials said.
