TEHRAN – Iranian President Masudo Pezeshkian returned to Tehran on Saturday after attending the 80th UN General Assembly in New York, where he sharply criticized the international community for failing to protect civilians from the actions of the Zionist regime.
“The fact that innocent people are being killed while humanitarian aid is blocked exposes the false faces of those who claim to defend human rights,” he said.
Pezeschkian traveled to New York on Tuesday, September 22nd, giving a speech at the UN General Assembly, and held a series of bilateral meetings with leaders and officials from nine countries and international organizations.
Upon his return, the president highlighted the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region, particularly the light letter of civilians affected by the actions of the Zionist regime.
He also criticized the international community for not opposing the regime. “The Zionist regime is throwing the region into chaos, and international organizations, including the UN Security Council, have not issued a single ruling against it because of the US veto,” Pezeschkian said.
Commenting on the broader human rights issue, he added, “The sights unfolding in this region remind us that declarations about human rights and women’s rights are often merely rhetoric.”
