WANA (Sep 24) – Mohammad Javad Zarif, Strategic Deputy to the Iranian President, posted on the social media platform X regarding President Pezeshkian’s speech in New York: “Dr. Pezeshkian, in New York, presented the most well-reasoned defense of the resistance of the people of Palestine, Lebanon, and Yemen. He openly exposed the crimes of the Israeli regime and the West’s double standards on issues like weapons, war, and human rights, clearly showing that it is Israel, the genocidal entity, which is the aggressor, nuclear-armed, and a threat to the region and the world, built and sustained on the foundations of terror and apartheid. Iran, on the other hand, is the defender of the victims of occupation and genocide, a proponent of peace, and an advocate for nuclear disarmament in the region and the world.”

 

He further stressed: “Let us not fall into the trap set by those who have, for 70 years, crafted a distorted image of our region, and instead of relying on Zionist media, trust our own servants.”

 

In his post, the Deputy continued: “Today, after witnessing 11 months of Israeli genocide, the people of the world are ready to tear apart the veil of lies and the inverted Zionist narrative about Iran and the region. As the Wise Leader mentioned in his historic message to American students, ‘You are now standing on the right side of history.'”

 

Zarif emphasized: “Dr. Pezeshkian’s logic contributes to this ‘right side of history’ movement, which is why media outlets that echo Zionist positions attack it. Let us, once and for all, in a ‘national consensus,’ destroy the dangerous and false Israeli narrative of securitizing Iran and the resistance.”
