Iranian FM Criticizes WEF After Davos Invitation Revoked
WANA (Jan 20) – Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has reacted to the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) decision to revoke his invitation to the Davos meeting, offering an explanation in a post published on his official X (formerly Twitter) account.
Following the announcement by the WEF Secretariat that his invitation had been cancelled, Araghchi wrote that the decision was made “on the basis of lies and political pressure from Israel and its U.S.-based proxies and apologists.”
He stated that “WEF cancelled my appearance in Davos on the basis of lies and political pressure from Israel and its U.S.-based proxies and apologists.”
“There is one fundamental truth to the recent violence in Iran: We had to defend our people against armed terrorists and ISIS-style killings openly backed by Mossad, he said.”
He added: “The sad irony: Israel’s genocide of Palestinians and mass slaughter of 71,000 innocent people have not compelled WEF to cancel any invitation extended to Israeli officials whatsoever. In fact, Herzog even did a victory lap in Davos as early as January 2024, even as he faced criminal charges in Switzerland for the unfolding Genocide in Gaza.”
“If WEF wants to feign a supposedly ‘moral’ stance, that is its prerogative. But it should at least be consistent about it. The current blatant double standard only conveys moral depravity and intellectual bankruptcy, Araghchi wrote.”
Concluding his remarks, people have the right to know the truth and judge for themselves. Shame is solely reserved for those who think otherwise.
