Iran’s mission to the United Nations has accused Washington of using the UN Security Council to spread “lies, false accusations and disinformation” against Tehran and its nuclear program.
“The U.S.—the only country in history to have used nuclear weapons and itself responsible for attacks against peaceful nuclear facilities under IAEA safeguards, targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure, continues to violate international law through unlawful maritime blockades, and unwavering support for the Israeli regime’s crimes and atrocities across the region, once again abused the UN Security Council’s platform by spreading lies, false accusations, and disinformation against Iran and its peaceful nuclear programme and cynically invoking international peace and security or freedom of navigation.
In fact, the culprit and the thief are now playing the role of prosecutor and judge,” the Iranian mission said, accusing Washington of attempting to whitewash its own actions.
