UN meeting: Iran demands halt in arms sales to Israel and Saudi Arabia

Oct 17, 2016 3:47 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

The world’s biggest state funder of terrorism, Iran, is demanding a halt in arms sales to Israel. In addition, Iran’s deputy permanent representative at the UN, Gholam-Hossein Dehqani, “also urged action in disarming Israel of its alleged nuclear arsenal”. If Israel was ever disarmed, it will be obliterated by the likes of Iran and other surrounding jihadist states.

The comments were made during the UN’s annual Disarmament and International Security Committee meeting at the world body’s headquarters in New York.

The comments also come only days after UNESCO passed a resolution declaring the Temple Mount Muslim, not Jewish. An unsurprising development, considering that it emerged from the UN. Perhaps it really is time for “Amexit”, i.e. for America to leave the defunct United Nations. Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky said it well back in June: “As a member of the UN, we bind our citizens to decisions made by undemocratic countries, when in fact our constitution should be the supreme law.”

In its demand that arms sales to Israel be halted, Iran ironically cited a “humanitarian law.” This is a country ruled by authoritarian mullahs that is infamous for human rights violations such as “blinding, amputation and floggings”; death sentences without due process; and torture and inhumane treatment of dissidents. Last winter, a manual was created for Iranian political dissidents that included material on how to survive torture.

Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps deputy chief Hossein Salami recently stated: “Hezbollah has 100,000 missiles that are ready to hit Israel” in order to, as he put it, “liberate the occupied Palestinian territories”. No wonder the leadership of this abhorrent nation wants Israel disarmed.

“Iran demands halt in arms sales to Israel citing ‘humanitarian law’”, Jerusalem Post, October 15, 2016:

Iran on Saturday demanded that all arms sales to Israel and Saudi Arabia be halted immediately based on “humanitarian law” during a meeting at the United Nations, according to Iranian state news agency PressTV.

“We are deeply concerned about the destabilizing repercussions of the continual entry and export of such weaponry into the region, especially into Saudi Arabia and the Zionist regime of Israel,” said Iran’s Deputy permanent representative at the UN Gholam-Hossein Dehqani.

Dehqani added that Israel was “engaged in aggression and violation against other countries and in flouting their commitments to international humanitarian laws.”

The comments were made during the UN’s annual Disarmament and International Security Committee meeting at the world body’s headquarters in New York, Press TV added.

The Iranian diplomat also urged action in disarming Israel of its alleged nuclear arsenal, claiming that “the most dangerous weapons are in the hands of the most dangerous regime in the Middle East.”

“The Zionist regime has recurrently perpetrated violations, occupation, genocide, and terrorist activities; and nuclear weapons in the hands of such a regime constitutes the most dangerous threat to NPT signatories in the Middle East,” he added.

As per policy, Israel neither confirms nor denies it is in possession of nuclear weapons.

The comments come just days after the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) voted on a preliminary resolution that that omits Jewish ties to its most holy religious sites: the Temple Mount and the Western Wall in a 24-6 vote.

Twenty-six nations on Tuesday abstained from the vote and two were absent. The six countries that voted in support of Israel were the United States, Great Britain, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Germany and Estonia.

The Islamic Republic is considered one of the most “brutal” regimes on the planet, engaged in a repressive campaign targeting its civilians for decades, according to a recent Amnesty International report. 

Amnesty also notes that Iran “executes more people than any country in the world, other than China,” and engages in “serious human rights violations…

      I don’t understand what the Iranian clerics are moaning about. When, not if, they nuke Tel Aviv then Persia gets a few dozen nukes launched from the IDF subs sitting offshore. Boom, the hairy ones all get to go to Jannat, the Islam porno heaven.

        A few dozen is not enough. A half-dozen Trident-loads would be more appropriate for a country that size. Israel better hurry up.

    The “winds of war” are stirring, there are dark clouds on the horizon.

    This news item should read something like this;

    “We, the Islamic countries of the Middle East all hate Israel, we have vowed to destroy the place but we want the UN to ban Israel from having nuclear weapons. Officially this should be for humanitarian reasons but the real reason is that we are unable to develop them for ourselves.”

    Now if B. Hussein was to help one of the Islamic nations, Iran, develop nukes will they still want this ban? I think not.

    I notice also that Amnesty only “notes” the massive human rights violations in Middle Eastern countries. In the meantime Amnesty has savaged Australia for it’s treatment of illegal immigrants detained in off-shore processing centres. They are not nice places but they get medical treatment, proper food and sanitation and there is neither torture nor the threat of execution. Even though most of the inmates engaged the services of people smugglers (as opposed to real refugees) they are given the opportunity to be repatriated.

    Israel should stand it’s ground, and I’m sure it will ..
    but you have to ask the question, once the Saudi’s were proved to have financed 9/11
    (and how long was this hidden ?)

    WHY ARE WE STILL SELLING THE SAUDI’S ARMS,

    This should be one of Trump’s questions, this should be one of OUR biggest questions …….

      What’s wrong with selling the Saudis arms? They use them on Iran, and Iranian backed Yemenis. They are not going to use the arms on us.

      • gravenimage says

        Oct 18, 2016 at 10:53 pm

        Actually, the Saudis *have* targeted us–they did so on 9/11. The Saudis are not our allies–any more than are the Mullahs.

        We should not be selling arms to *any* Muslim country.

    I demand that all creeps demanding that Israel commit suicide, have their arms tied behind their backs and a wad of dirty socks tied across their lips.

    The worshippers of the wild beast and its creator, satan the devil have no decency, no honor, no virtue and should never have their way, or a say, in anything.

    islam is filth and straight from satan. They will go together into the abyss.

    Tehran Terrorist will stop at nothing. Don’t expect Crooked Hillary or Lying Kerry to do anything, but support Iran. Bama, Hellary and Karryme are despicable humans. I suspect Israel will be alone in its fight for survival. Even the American Jews support Hillary and the American Christians won’t stand up either. I think Israel and America will be “defeated” by Islam. I think the American and the Jews will divide within their respective nations and be easily conquered by their enemies, internally or externally. History repeats itself. Read the history of Israel or the world. Most men will not stand and fight because they do not understand the basic precepts of freedom. Most men are not physical cowards, but most are moral cowards.

    The Iranian form of ancient warfare was for its cavalry to turn tail so the enemy would follow them, then while running away, they would twist their bodies and unleash their arrows (with serrated arrowheads) on the enemy and killing them to the last man. The idea behind this was so that the Iranian army would win the war but without any injury to itself. Iran/Persia never fought the way of the Romans or the Greeks, that is man-to-man. They wanted to inflict maximum damage to the enemy but they didn’t want to get hurt in the process. This idea of disarming Israel of its nuclear armament is the same. Iran is planning on attacking Israel with nuke but doesn’t want to be nuked in return.

      Daily de-legitimizing of Israel. Eventually they will make a mistake and will be annihilated. I hope they go the whole way and remove as many muslims as possible – its them or us.

    What’s the Russian position concerning all this ? Anybody ? Since the Russian Putinistic regime is having it’s love-affair with the ayathollah’s regime ( dictators usually admire/love each other ) , and Russian military involvement in the M.E. etc . Is Russia now openly an enemy of Israel ?

    • Praeceptor Maximus says

      Oct 18, 2016 at 9:34 am

      Ernie

      Putin has no love for the ayathollah’s regime. Russia has its own problem with Muslims. Lavrov put Obama in his place when he said words to the effect that basically how is it working for you now that you have gotten rid of the dictators in the ME. Those dictators led secular governments and kept Islamic terrorism in check. But Obama, an Islamist himself (there is plenty proof that he is) encouraged the so-called Arab spring which led to destabilization of the ME. Now, Putin wants to keep Assad in the government. And looking at what happened to Iraq and Libya after the fall of Saddam and Qaddafi, it is only logical to conclude that the best option for Syria is for Assad to remain in power. America, however, does not budge from its position on Assad, but we all know now how totally corrupt Obama’s administration is. If Obama says that the sky is blue, you’d better believe that the sky is green. And worse still is Hillary. If Hillary says that the sky is blue, you’d better believe that the sky doesn’t even exist. So if Hillary comes to power, sick in mind and body that she is, she will go to war with Russia. Even Jill Stein admitted this. Then there is Turkey. Erdogan wants Assad out, and hates Putin, but at the same time his orbit is getting closer to Putin’s each day. Allies do not have to like each other to work towards a common goal. What is the common goal? To drive US out of the Middle East, and that is where Iran joins in. Iran, America’s number one enemy, would love nothing better than to see America fall (and it would fall under Hillary). Where does Assad end up in this unholy alliance? Nowhere. Iran, historically famous for treachery, will not hesitate to sacrifice Assad. And Putin will not hesitate to throw Assad under the bus if it suited him, but he will not leave a political vacuum in Syria. If Assad goes, and that would satisfy Erdogan, Russia will fill the vacuum. Russia will become a power in the Middle East and the U.S will have no influence there. Now, what is in it for Erdogan? Erdogan dreams of his own caliphate. To put simply, Russia, Turkey and Iran want their lost empires back. With weak and lunatic Hillary, America will be in such a disarray that it will be driven away from the Middle East. (Just a side note here about America’s national debt, which by itself will bring about America’s doom). Continuing on: no country in the Middle East has any respect for America thanks to Obama. If Hillary sneezes at Russia, Russia will attack and it ain’t gonna be pretty. A nuclear war might be inevitable. And the thing is that Russia has a head start. Russia is better prepared and better armed for a nuclear attack, but America isn’t. However, under Trump, things will be different. First of all Trump, contrary to all his critics and enemies, is one person who does not have loose fingers on the nukes. Second he has said on many occasions that he wants to work with Russia to get rid of ISIS. If Trump becomes president, Russia will detach itself from both Iran and Turkey and will work with America to get rid of ISIS and would not seek to drive out America out of the ME. America under Trump will be militarily stronger. But what does Putin get in return? Putin wants to regain his sphere of influence. Will Trump let Putin fulfill his ambition? Before I speculate on that, first I’d like to say that Trump wants other people to also take responsibility for cleaning up the world. He wants Israel to keep a close eye on Iran. He wants China to keep a close eye on North Korea, and I think that he probably will keep Assad on, because to remove him will bring no advantage to anyone, in which case, Turkey will back out of its alliance with Russia. And Russia will throw Iran under the bus. Back to the question of would Trump let Putin regain Russia’s sphere of influence? This question cannot be answered in isolation, for there is China, so a great negotiator is need to deal with both the bear and the dragon.

        Praeceptor Maximus , thank you very much for explaining me all these complicated relationships and interests at stake here in a nutshell . I deduce from what you say here , that if Donald Trump gets elected president , we still might stand a chance somewhat containing an already very dangerous situation . In case Hillary Clinton becomes president there will be war at a scale unprecedented in our human history ; there is no escape It scares the hell out of me Preaceptor Maximus . Never a U.S. presidential election’s outcome has been so important . It’s a choice for life… or death .

    Why wouldn’t the Iranians demand this? They lose nothing by doing so. Their demands have been met – look at the nuclear deal – and tyrants like to push boundaries to see what they can get away with.

    • Ernie says

      Oct 18, 2016 at 9:49 am

      Exactly Angemon , the Iranian regime has been rewarded multiple times for very bad behaviour . The ” demand ” itself is not so shocking ( to me ) , knowing what the ayathollahs want . They’re advertising their hate for Israel continually , and openly , for as long as they are in power . The reaction of many countries to this threat exposes the moral bankruptcy of these countries and the United Nations as an organisation . The hypocritical reasoning by Iran’s regime ” for humanitarian reasons ” is so ridiculous…….. Angemon , it would be nice , just as a gesture , that Israel and it’s allies demand the downstep of Iran’s regime , and charge every member and collaborator of that despicable regime , and demand prosecution FOR HUMANITARIAN REASONS ; to safe millons of lives for now , and in the future . Such a proposal wouldn’t stand a chance , and that gives Israel the right to ignore whatever resolutions the United Nations come up with . To hell with Iran’s regime I would say , and f-ck the U.N. .

    The Citizens of the U.S.A have been hoping for Iran to be vaporized by atomic fire balls since the Satanic Revolution of The seventies!
    And I still pray for this to happen almost daily!

    Incredible, the Iranian nuclear deal was humanitarian law? Another Obama accomplishment …..devoid of truth…..and dangerous to Israel and the U.S..

    How can Obama still walk the halls of the WH is beyond my comprehension…except to understand he is a master con..infiltration complete and ….palates of cash and Behqani still whines?
