“Tehran finances terrorism, poses a global threat and must never be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons, the Foreign Ministry said in response to the speech of new Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on Tuesday.” This statement couldn’t be more obvious.
Although Iran’s intent is to obliterate Israel (for which goal it provides major funding to Hamas), and its President Raisi is referenced as “the butcher of Tehran,” the world still focuses on denouncing Israel, disseminating fallacies about “occupation.”
The Israeli ministry further stated:
The international community must condemn the Iranian regime and prevent any possibility of nuclear capabilities and weapons falling into the hands of these extremists.
Any chance of preventing the Iranian regime from obtaining a nuclear weapon is now in the hands of Israel. America under Biden cannot be relied upon, and too many countries in the EU trust (or pretend to trust) that Iran will abide by a nuclear agreement, even though Iran admittedly violated the 2015 nuclear agreement.
Raisi stated at the UN that his “country is ready to hold talks with world powers to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, but not under Western ‘pressure.’” Iran’s goal is a nuclear bomb. Rafael Grossi, the director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, already warned in June that only countries making bombs are enriching uranium at 60 percent, which Iran is doing.
Raisi’s speech “focused on presenting Iran as a moderate positive force in the region,” much like the Taliban also presents itself as a “moderate” group that protects women’s rights.
“Iran a ‘clear danger to Middle East,’ says Foreign Ministry after Raisi speech,” Jerusalem Post, September 22, 2021:
Israel has long been concerned by the Iranian regime, but it has been worried specifically by the hardline Raisi since he took office in June, given his involvement in political executions in 1988.
“The new government in Iran, headed by the “Butcher of Tehran” Raisi, and consisting largely of ministers suspected of [committing acts of] terrorism and [whose names are] on global sanctions lists, is the extremist face of a regime that has brought harm to Iranian citizens for over forty years. Iran encourages and finances terrorism, which is destabilizing the entire Middle East,” the Foreign Ministry said.
“The international community must condemn the Iranian regime and prevent any possibility of nuclear capabilities and weapons falling into the hands of these extremists.”
The Islamic Republic does not recognize Israel and never refers to it by name. At the UNGA, Raisi said that “the occupier Zionist regime is the organizer of the biggest state terrorism whose agenda is to slaughter women and children in Gaza and the West Bank.”
His speech, however, focused on presenting Iran as a moderate positive force in the region and on painting the United States as a country that is at war with the world.
“Today, the world doesn’t care about America First,” Raisi said. “Over the past decade the US has been making the mistake of modifying its “way of war” with the world, instead of changing its “way of life.”
Its attempt to westernize the Middle East has failed, Raisi said. “Today, the US does not get to exit [from] Afghanistan, but [rather] is expelled,” he said.
He took issue, in particular, with the crippling sanctions that the Trump administration imposed on his country in an attempt to pressure it to negotiate a new nuclear deal.Raisi said that such sanctions were “a crime against humanity.”
The US uses sanctions as a “new way of war with the nations of the world,” Raisi said, adding that his country would not succumb to pressure when it came to a deal over its nuclear program.
In 2018, the Trump administration pulled out of the 2015 JCPOA signed between Tehran and the major world powers: China, Russia, France, Germany and Britain.
Since taking office in January, US President Joe Biden has sought to revive the deal, but EU-brokered indirect talks held last in June have faltered. On Tuesday Iran said it would agree to resume such talks in a number of weeks, but did not set a date.
Over the last few years Iran has stopped adhering to the restrictions set in the deal on the enrichment of uranium and has done so to a near weapons grade level….
Kesselman says
The Islamofascist leadership of Iran has long and repeatedly threatened a fellow UN-member state with obliteration. Alone that incriminate Tehran in the eyes of the world. But is the UN actively condemning Iran? Not as I see it! Flabby words now and then don’t say anything.—Now with a moron in the WH, I would prepare for going alone. Prepare for an all-out eradication of the Theran leadership and all vital installations. Preferable with a full launching of what Israel has in her arsenals.

It is reassuring to see that at least one country, Israel, is so clear about the Jihadis.

Israel responds to Iranian President Raisi’s UN speech: Iran is ‘a clear danger to the Middle East’

Good to see Israel clearly telling the truth.
