Iran's President Accuses Israel of 'Double Standard' at UN
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian addressed the United Nations, stating that escalating the conflict would not achieve its objectives. He asserted that Iran has adhered to agreements and is prepared to defend itself, emphasizing a belief in diplomacy over succumbing to military pressure. Pezeshkian specifically criticized the international community, arguing that Israel engages in killings while Iran faces sanctions, which he characterized as a 'double standard.'
He further claimed that Iran has never been an aggressor, initiated no wars, and consistently demonstrated a commitment to negotiation. Pezeshkian acknowledged that Iran was forced into a war but maintained that the nation proved it does not fear defensive conflict. He also directed a message to former U.S. President Donald Trump, suggesting that threats serve to unify the Iranian people.
