Ratifying new anti-Iran resolution Security Council's historic mistake
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
New York, June 10, IRNA -- Iran’s ambassador and permanent representative to UN said here Wednesday ratification of new UN anti-Iranian resolution was a historic mistake of Security Council.
Mohammad Khaza’ie further reiterated, “The performance of this council proves that the world is still entangled with a discriminatory international organ, based on the hegemony of the macho powers that is commissioned a very sensitive task.
Reacting to the ratification of the 4th UN Security Council resolution against our country’s peaceful nuclear program in as many years, Khaza’ie said, “It is not the history repeating itself but us that keep repeating our past mistakes.”
He added, “Today the bitter history of the past and the deep viewpoint towards the conduct of the Security Council proves that we are still entangled with a discriminatory international body that is unjust and based on the hegemony of macho powers.
Referring to the pressure imposed against the UN Security Council by such countries as the United States and Britain, he said that such pressure is then directed against countries like Iran, which is what has been more obvious during the course of the past ten years.
He added, “It is of course not accidental, or unreasonable, since comparison among such cases can be very amazingly of high educational value. The file that you surveyed at the Security Council today had the same characteristics of another file against my country in the year 1951.”
He said that the keywords, the energy element, the countries’ independence, are the shared aspects of the two files, adding, “In early years of the 1950s Britain was arguing that nationalizing the Iranian oil industry would be a threat against regional and international peace and security!”
The Iranian envoy added, “It would be enough to change the phases ‘nationalizing the Iranian oil industry’ with ‘the Iranian peaceful nuclear energy.”
Referring to the antagonist moves made by some permanent US Security Council members against Iran and violating Iran’s natural rights he referred to those countries’ comprehensive support for Saddam Hussain when he launched Iraq’s massive invasion into the soil of the newly established Islamic Republic of Iran.
Khaza’ie added, “This council made no move when the innocent Iranian citizens were being massacred by the Ba’thi army of the former Iraqi regime, nor did it do anything when Saddam resorted to bombardment of the Iranian cities and using the chemical weapons against both soldiers and civilians, in Iran and in Iraq.
