The big picture:
The resolution was adopted during an emergency session of the Human Rights Council addressing recent protests and unrest in Iran. Tehran has rejected such motions as politicized attempts to pressure the country.
What she's saying:
Mohajerani said Iran views the resolution as driven by “political motives” rather than objective human rights concerns. She added that Tehran will pursue legal and diplomatic channels to respond, asserting that Iran will defend its rights “within the framework of international law.”
Between the lines:
Mohajerani emphasized that safeguarding national interests, preserving security, and respecting citizens’ rights are “three inseparable principles” of Iran’s policy. She underlined that Iran “will not allow domestic issues to become tools for foreign interference or political leverage.”
What’s next:
Iran, she said, remains open to “mutual-respect-based dialogue” but expects international bodies to “avoid double standards” and act “professionally and impartially.”
