Iran's UN Ambassador Majid Takht-Ravanchi called on the world body to condemn the "terrorist assassination" last week of Hassan Sayyad Khodaee, a colonel in the Quds Force, which is the overseas branch of Iran's hard-line Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
In a letter to UN chief Antonio Guterres, the Iranian envoy said the assassination fell within a "systematic" scheme in which "innocent Iranian civilians and scientists" are killed to advance the "illegitimate" foreign policy goals of "certain regimes."
