Iran’s permanent ambassador to the United Nations blasts the Israeli regime’s prime minister over the latter’s address to the UN General Assembly, which took the regime’s smear campaign against the Islamic Republic to new heights.
“Iran-phobia runs rampant at UN. The Israeli regime PM’s speech was full of lies on Iran,” Majid Takht Ravanchi tweeted on Monday.
The remarks came after the premier, Naftali Bennett used his first speech to the world body, to solely try to tarnish Iran to the exclusion of even the Palestinian issue.
He alleged that Iran’s nuclear energy program had crossed all “red lines,” adding that the country sought to control the Middle East region under a “nuclear umbrella.”
Retorting again, Takht Ravanchi wrote, “That regime is in no position to discuss our peaceful program when it has hundreds of nuclear warheads.”
Despite its constant denial, Tel Aviv has been running a notorious and highly secretive nuclear weapons program—the only one in the region—that has provided it with at least 200 non-conventional warheads.
Thanks to unwavering support by the United States, its biggest and oldest ally, the regime has, however, refused to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and also avoided scrutiny by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Throughout the years, the occupying regime has also assassinated at least seven Iranian nuclear scientists and tried to interfere with the Islamic Republic’s nuclear work through various ways. Iran’s nuclear facilities have come under at least three sabotage operations over the past year, in which the occupying regime is the prime suspect.
The Iranian envoy, meanwhile, said Bennett’s intentional refusal to include the slightest reference in his address to the Palestinian issue, “illustrates a determination to deprive Palestinian rights.”
