The international community must condemn the Iranian regime and prevent in any way the possibility that weapons and nuclear capability will fall into the hands of these extremists,” they said.
“The Iranian regime is a clear and immediate danger to the Middle East and world peace,” the Israeli Foreign Ministry stated in response to Iranian President Raisi’s speech at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday.
“The new government in Iran, headed by Raisi and most of its ministers, are the extremist face of a regime that has harmed Iranian citizens for more than 40 years, encouraging and financing terrorism and destabilizing the entire Middle East,” they continued.
“Raisi continues to fool the international community with a speech full of lies and cynicism. The international community must condemn the Iranian regime and prevent in any way the possibility that weapons and nuclear capability will fall into the hands of these extremists.”
The Foreign Ministry was not the only one to criticize the Iranian President, as protests were held in New York against Raisi and his “crimes against humanity” and “massive human rights abuses” – which were both written on several bold banner messages seen around Manhattan.
US President Biden in his UN address called on Iran to return to the nuclear deal, stating that he is “working with the P5+1 to engage Iran diplomatically, to seek a return to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action” but clarified that “the United States remains committed to preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.”
Furthermore, Iranian news agency IRNA recently reported that Iran’s talks with world powers over reviving its 2015 nuclear deal would resume in a few weeks.
