Tehran – SABA:
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated on Tuesday that the Zionist-American aggression against his country constitutes a mockery of international law.
In a message sent to the International Conference on Financing for Development, President Pezeshkian said: "The Zionist-American aggression, which resulted in the martyrdom and injury of more than 6,000 civilians in Iran, is a blatant violation of the UN Charter, the Non-Proliferation Treaty, and the fundamental principles of international human rights law," according to the IRNA news agency.
He emphasized that this aggression ridicules international efforts aimed at promoting multilateralism and respect for international law, calling on UN member states to condemn this illegal act of aggression.
Pezeshkian also addressed the economic, trade, and financial discrimination faced by developing countries, expressing regret over such practices within international financial institutions.
He called for reforms in relevant procedures to improve the situation of developing nations, expressing hope that the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development would effectively address these challenges and produce tangible, practical steps in this direction.
This statement comes amid escalating tensions following recent attacks on Iran, with Tehran positioning itself as a victim of Western-Zionist aggression while rallying international support against what it describes as unlawful and oppressive policies.
