UN Urged to Take Fair Stance amid US-Israeli Aggression on Iran
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei has advised UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to take a fair position with regard to US-Israeli aggression against Iran.
“Dear Mr. Secretary General, Let’s call a spade a spade. This is not ‘the fighting’; this is an ‘unprovoked act of aggression’ launched by two nuclear armed regimes against Iran,” Baghaei wrote on his X account on Saturday.
“We WERE in ‘serious diplomatic negotiations’ while the U.S./Israel attacked Iran, for a second time during the past 9 months,” he added.
“You are concerned about ‘grave risk to the global economy’; what about the innocent civilians, including 175 little angels slaughtered in the City of Minab, and many more killed and maimed across Iran during the past 7 days of American/Israeli criminal acts?!,” he stated.
“The UN shall be forthright and shoulder its legal and moral responsibilities regarding this illegal war on Iran,” Baghaei noted.
Guterres had earlier said, “All the unlawful attacks in the Middle East and beyond are causing tremendous suffering and harm to civilians throughout the region – and pose a grave a risk to the global economy, particularly to the most vulnerable people.”
