In a statement released, the delegation of the Islamic
Republic of Iran noted that Netanyahu had rambled on during his talks to the
United Nations about the “curse of a nuclear Iran” and claimed that Tehran had
spent “billions to arm its terror proxies.”
In addition, Netanyahu bragged that the scandalous Abraham
Accords would herald a “New Middle East” that would bring “Arabs and Jews
closer together” and bring about significant changes in the region.
“The baseless allegations made by Israeli officials no
longer fool anyone. Iranophobic campaigns and widespread systematic
dissemination of disinformation and unfounded allegations against Iran have
always been one of the main elements of statements—or better to say, comedy
shows—made by the Israeli authorities in this august body,” the Iranian
delegation said.
It
added, “The regime attempts to portray Iran’s conventional weapon capabilities
or its exclusively peaceful nuclear program, one that is under the most robust
verification of the International Atomic Energy Agency, as a challenge to
regional stability; this is but a hypocritical move to distract from the real
danger this regime poses to regional peace and security, particularly its
nuclear-weapon arsenals, clandestine and unsafeguarded nuclear installations
and activities.”
It also emphasized the Israeli regime’s checkered history of
housing, funding, inciting, and arming the most deadly terrorist networks.
“The repulsive Israeli occupation has brought many crises
and instability throughout the region. As such, it is ironic that the prime
minister of the Israeli regime spoke about developing a regional peace
initiative while his bloodthirsty regime plans to annex even more of the
already occupied Palestinian territories,” the statement noted.
Netanyahu’s
claim that Iranian drones were used in the conflict in Ukraine was also
rejected by the delegation, which stated that “such baseless allegations, which
are solely based on false flags and fabricated assumptions, are nothing more
than a propaganda apparatus launched by certain States to further their
political agenda.”
The statement emphasized how Israel continues to threaten
regional and international peace and security by possessing all known forms of
WMDs.
The delegation responded to Israel’s threats to use force
against Iran by saying, “The Islamic Republic of Iran reserves its inherent
right to self-defense, under international law and the United Nations Charter,
to decisively respond to any threat or wrongdoing committed by the Israeli
regime.”
Israel’s
disruptive policies and practices were also condemned by the Iranian
delegation, which said that the regime has been committing atrocities against
Palestinians for more than 70 years “in flagrant violation of the basic
principles of morality, humanity, and the rules of international law.”
