Iran's U.N. Ambassador in a letter to the UN Security Council:

  • Says the US unmanned aircraft entered into Iranian airspace despite repeated radio warnings in 'a blatant violation of international law'
  • Calls on international community to demand the United States end 'its continued unlawful and destabilizing measures' in the region
  • Says Iran does not seek war, but reserves right to take all appropriate measures against any hostile act violating its territory

(this in relation to the drone incident reported yesterday: Iran claims it has shot down a US drone)

ps. There is chatter/rumour about the US is escalating matters by limiting the fishing zone available to Iran (this in response to the drone downing)

This geopol tension is being subsumed by the dovish Fed. But do stay aware of this.
