Iran's President Blasts Double Standards on Sanctions and War at UN
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi addressed the UN General Assembly on Wednesday, asserting that expanding the current conflict would not achieve its objectives. He stated that Iran, while prepared to defend itself and not fearing war, believes in diplomacy and will not yield to military pressure. Raisi specifically criticized the international community, declaring, "Israel kills, but Iran is the one subjected to sanctions. This is a double standard." He maintained that Iran has never been aggressive, initiated war, and has consistently shown commitment to negotiations. Raisi claimed Iran was forced into a war but demonstrated its readiness for defensive combat. He also addressed former US President Trump, suggesting that threats unite the Iranian people.
