Who disrupts stability in the region and the world? Who poses a threat to international peace and security?<\/p>\n<p>The airstrikes by the Zionist regime and the United States on the cities, homes, and infrastructure of Iran\u2014at a time when we were making strides in diplomatic negotiations\u2014constituted a major betrayal of diplomacy and undermined efforts to establish stability and peace. This brazen aggression, in addition to martyring several commanders, citizens, children, women, scientists, and intellectuals of the country, dealt a heavy blow to international trust and the prospect of peace in the region.<\/p>\n<p>What you can see from this murder and crime is the slaughter of children, women, and men\u2014a record of the massacre that Israel has inflicted upon all people, men, women, and children in our country. In the name of peace and security, they have created unrest in the country, leading to the deaths of 35,000 innocent people in Gaza, destroying their homes, hospitals, clinics, and schools, and blocking access to water, food, bread, and medicine.<\/p>\n<p>If we do not stand against these dangerous violations, these precedents will engulf the world:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u2022 Attacks on nuclear facilities under international safeguards,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u2022 Open attempts to assassinate leaders and officials of UN member states,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u2022 Systematic targeting of journalists and media personnel,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u2022 And killing individuals who are labeled as &#8220;military targets&#8221; solely due to their knowledge and expertise.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Would you accept this for yourselves?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"WPu9WyzBvv\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/pakistan-stands-alongside-iran-president-pezeshkian-appreciates-pakistani-position-unsc\/\">PAKISTAN STANDS ALONGSIDE IRAN &#8211; President Pezeshkian Appreciates Pakistani Position @ UNSC<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;PAKISTAN STANDS ALONGSIDE IRAN &#8211; President Pezeshkian Appreciates Pakistani Position @ UNSC&#8221; &#8212; Pakistan In the World\" src=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/pakistan-stands-alongside-iran-president-pezeshkian-appreciates-pakistani-position-unsc\/embed\/#?secret=gSVXjMTQ6x#?secret=WPu9WyzBvv\" data-secret=\"WPu9WyzBvv\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Those who have committed these crimes must know that Iran, the oldest continuous civilization in the world, has always stood firm against the tempests of history.

The enemies of Iran inadvertently strengthened the sacred national unity. Despite the most severe, prolonged, and heavy economic sanctions, psychological warfare, and ongoing efforts to create division, the Iranian people unified in support of their brave armed forces as soon as the first bullet was fired on their soil, and they continue to honor the blood of their martyrs.<\/p>\n<p>I would like to sincerely thank all personalities, nations, governments, and international and regional organizations that stood in solidarity with Iran during this war on behalf of the Iranian people.<\/p>\n<p>Today, after nearly two years of genocide, enforced starvation, and the continuation of apartheid within the occupied territories and aggression against neighbors, the absurd and delusional plan of &#8220;Greater Israel&#8221; is brazenly announced by the highest levels of this regime.<\/p>\n<p>This plan encompasses many territories in the region.

For years, my country has been one of the staunchest supporters of creating a region free of weapons of mass destruction. Yet, those who possess the largest nuclear arsenals and continually make their weapons more lethal and destructive in blatant violation of the NPT have subjected our people to pressure with unfounded accusations for years.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, three European countries, after failing to subdue the proud people of Iran with a decade of betrayal and support for military aggression, attempted, at the behest of the United States, to reinstate the revoked UN Security Council resolutions against Iran through pressure, bullying, imposition, and blatant abuse.<\/p>\n<p>In this process: They set aside goodwill, They circumvented legal obligations, They portrayed Iran&#8217;s lawful compensatory actions in response to the US withdrawal from the JCPOA and Europe&#8217;s absolute failure as &#8220;gross violations,&#8221; They falsely presented themselves as &#8220;reputable parties&#8221; to the agreement, They labeled Iran&#8217;s sincere efforts as &#8220;insufficient.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>All this was aimed at destroying the very JCPOA that they themselves regarded as their greatest achievement in multilateral diplomacy. This illegal action, which faced opposition from some members of the Security Council, lacks international legitimacy and will not gain the support of the global community.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, I declare in this assembly that Iran has never sought to build nuclear weapons and will not do so. We are not seeking nuclear weapons, and this is a matter of belief and a fatwa from our leader; therefore, we have never pursued such weapons of mass destruction and will not do so.<\/p>\n<p>In a situation where Israel disrupts peace in the region, Iran should be sanctioned.
