Why it matters:
Pezeshkian’s remarks highlight the imposed war by the Israeli regime and the U.S. against Iran, portraying the airstrikes not only as a direct assault on Iran but also as a broader threat to global peace and stability.
The big picture:
Iran says simultaneous attacks by the U.S. and the Israeli regime targeted cities, homes, and infrastructure while diplomatic talks were ongoing. Tehran frames these actions as deliberate attempts to undermine peace efforts and destabilize the region.
What he is saying:
Iranian President, Masoud Pezeshkian, addressed the 80th U.N. General Assembly :
- “In June, our country came under a savage attack by the Israeli regime that violated the fundamental principles of international law.”
- “Airstrikes by the Israeli regime and the United States… were a significant betrayal of diplomacy and undermined efforts to establish peace.”
- “This brazen aggression killed commanders, children, women, scientists, and scholars, delivering a severe blow to international trust and the prospects for regional peace.”
- “What happened was a dark record of the Israeli regime’s crimes against our people, committed under the name of preserving regional peace.”
- “Strikes on internationally monitored facilities, assassinations of government officials, systematic targeting of journalists, and the killings of individuals solely for their expertise, are blatant violations of human rights and international law.”
Key points:
- Pezeshkian condemned the joint U.S. and the israeli regime airstrikes on Iranian targets.
- He described the attacks as undermining both diplomacy and international trust.
- Civilian casualties included children, women, scientists, and journalists.
- Iran accuses the regime of systematic human rights violations under the guise of peacekeeping.
