Iran demands intervention from the United Nations Security Council "to stop the killing of the people of Bahrain"

Iran has demanded intervention from the United Nations Security Council "to stop the killing of the people of Bahrain", state media reported Friday.
  
Iran's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi made the demand in a letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, news agency IRNA said.

Salehi, in the letter, "regretted the inaction of the Security Council, while in similar situations in the region, the council's attitude was different." "The revolt of the people of Bahrain is identical to the revolts in Tunisia, Egypt and the revolt of the majority of the people (in Bahrain) aims to meet legitimate rights."
  
Salehi also criticised the sending of Saudi troops to Bahrain to suppress the revolt. "The situation in Bahrain has no military solution and use of foreign forces to suppress the population is not a solution and it only further complicates the situation," Salehi said. "The Islamic Republic of Iran cannot remain indifferent as the continuing crisis in Bahrain ... to destabilise the Persian Gulf region will have consequences for the world."
