Tehran, Nov. 16 -- Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi on Sunday accused the United States and several of its allies of trying to build a "force-based" international order.

Speaking at an international conference titled "International Law under Attack: Aggression and Defense" in Tehran, he said the current global environment reflects "anti-international law" policies advanced in recent years by Washington and its partners, a move in favor of a West-centered order promoted as a "rules-based" international order rather than a "law-based" one.

War and violence have become normalized in international affairs and some governments now rely on military force as a routine tool of foreign policy, he added.
