ALWAGHT- Iran's UN Ambassador labels call for special session on Iran as politically-motivated and unconstructive.
Ali Bahreini, Iran's ambassador to the United Nations Office in Geneva, spoke at a UNHRC meeting on Tuesday about the recent protests and unrest in Iran, accusing certain countries of making politically-motivated and unconstructive moves to convene a special session on Iran.
Bahreini claimed that armed and organized terrorist elements were involved in the protests, aiming to provoke foreign intervention and bring insecurity to Iranian territory, as part of a 12-day war strategy.
He pointed to direct US and Israeli involvement in supporting terrorist acts and vandalism in Iran, calling it a violation of sovereignty and territorial integrity, and criticized Western governments for condemning Iran's security forces instead of condemning terrorism.
Bahreini stated that Iran has not adopted a strict and extensive security approach, making a distinction between organized violent elements and ordinary citizens, and clarified the judicial process in Iran regarding those detained during the unrest. He also defended Iran's stance against Western propaganda and blaming on human rights violations, citing their own histories of war crimes and genocide.
The meeting concluded with other ambassadors condemning foreign interference in Iran's internal affairs and rejecting the political use of the Human Rights Council and its mechanisms.
