What a disgrace!
Today marks a sad and shameful day. It is a travesty that the murderous Islamic regime in Iran is becoming today the President of the UN Conference on Disarmament.
So Iran leads the UN committees on human rights, women’s rights and now disarmament?
This is a terrorist regime that murders its own people, that beats, blinds, tortures, and rapes women and girls.
They are illegally building a nuclear weapon to threaten the world. They illegally arm Russia to bomb Ukrainian civilians. They are in violation of international laws, in violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and numerous other international conventions.
They sponsor terrorists worldwide including Hamas, which massacred more than 1,000 people, tortured, mutilated, raped. They should never be allowed to be president of any UN body, let alone on disarmament.
At tomorrow morning’s plenary, when Tehran takes the gavel, we’re urging all countries not to carry on business as usual at the Conference on Disarmament. We’re urging them to walk out or, at a minimum, lower the level. Don’t let an ambassador be in the room. And express outrage at the Islamic regime’s horrific actions. Don’t let this go unnoticed. Do not be silent. Speak out.
