Iran to UN: US sanctions are “CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY”
In a pre-recorded address to the UN General Assembly, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi claimed American attempts to impose its hegemonic system on the Middle East have “failed miserably”, and ATTACKED Washington’s ongoing sanctions.
Referencing the Jan 6 riots, he added: “From the Capitol to Kabul, one clear message was sent to the world: The United States’ hegemonic system has no credibility, whether inside or outside the country.”
Raisi insisted that U.S. intervention in the region had produced only “blood-spilling and instability, and, ultimately, defeat,” while labelling medical sanctions during a Covid pandemic crisis a “crime against humanity”.
