Pezeshkian spoke for Iran’s 3,000-year-old civilization at UN: Qalibaf
Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf has praised President Masoud Pezeshkian’s address to the UN General Assembly, saying the speech reflected Iran’s national strength and its 3,000-year-old civilization.
“President Dr. Pezeshkian spoke not just for a government, but for a 3,000-year-old civilization,” Qalibaf said in a post on social media platform X on Wednesday.
“He was the powerful voice of courage, resilience, and strength for the Islamic Republic of Iran. Long live the proud, resistant nation of Iran,” Qalibaf added.
Earlier in the day, Pezeshkian used his address to the UN General Assembly to expose Western double standards, highlighting the stark contradiction between Israel’s undeclared nuclear arsenal and the impunity it enjoys, and the relentless inspections and sanctions imposed on Iran.
“The nuclear bomb is in Israel, but the inspectors are in Iran! Israel kills, but Iran is sanctioned!” Pezeshkian said.
Addressing the assembly, the Iranian president stressed that trust cannot be restored through rhetoric alone, but requires an end to the double standards that have long shaped Western policy.
Pezeshkian also displayed photographs documenting war crimes committed by the United States and the Israeli regime during their aggression against Iran.
“We are not terrorists; we are the victims of terrorism,” Pezeshkian said, directly confronting the accusations leveled by the “delusional” US president against the Iranian nation.
Pezeshkian rejected claims that Iran seeks regional domination, stressing that the country has not attacked another nation in 200 years and has consistently acted in self-defense.
He also outlined Iran’s vision of a future in which security, justice and human dignity are recognized as inalienable rights shared by all nations.
"An order worthy of being called 'international' must be based on the equality of nations, justice, fairness, and the shared will of humanity," he said. "Because peace that is not for everyone is not peace, and justice that excludes everyone is not justice."
