Hojj. Sediqi: UN does not exist; UNSC is Anti-Security Council

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, June 25, IRNA – Substitute Friday prayers leader of Tehran Hojjatoleslam Kazem Sediqi here on Friday condemned the UN Security Council’s anti-Iran resolution and sanctions and said the gesture showed that the UN does not exist and its Security Council is an Anti-Security Council.

Delivering his second Friday prayers sermon here at Tehran University campus, Hojjatoleslam Sediqi said the sanctions would rather make Iranian nation further united.

“The nation, that relies on God Almighty and has a revolution whose aim is to revive religious ideology, will not only resist such sanctions but will also get more united and resistant,” said the Hojjatoleslam.

"Sanctions are not something new," said Hojjatoleslam Sediqi, addressing the West, “Perhaps you have not well identified Iranian nation yet because it did not pay the least attention neither to the East or West, especially when our military forces and culture were under your control. Despite that, this nation, led by the late Imam (Khomeini), pushed you out of the country and founded a religious establishment instead.”

He also recalled harsh conditions and sanctions that the Iranian nation tolerated in the post-Islamic Revolution era and said those times, Iranian nation did not fear the least from the eight years of Iraqi imposed war (1980-88) and chemical attacks and brutal invasions as a result. “The fresh sanctions will not be effective then.”
