Iran Asks UN to Condemn Zionist Threats

NEW YORK (Dispatches) -- Iran's ambassador to the United Nations has asked the world body to condemn Israeli threats against Tehran and to bring the occupying regime’s nuclear program under its supervision in letters to UN Secretary-General António Guterres and the Security Council.
Gholamali Khoshrou, Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, has asked the United Nations to force the Zionist regime to join the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons Treaty (NPT) and bring its nuclear program under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
 "The United Nations’ members should not turn a blind eye to these threats and must take firms actions to eliminate all Israeli nuclear weapons,” he said in his letters.
Kazem Gharibabadi, the Iranian ambassador and permanent representative to the IAEA, also called on the international community to pressurize the Zionist regime into joining the NPT, saying it is the only way to bring peace to the Middle East.
He made the call in a Thursday address to the 62nd annual session of the IAEA General Conference in Vienna.
Gharibabadi also criticized the IAEA for giving in to the Zionist regime’s pressures and not bringing Israel’s dangerous nuclear activities under scrutiny.
Earlier on Thursday, the permanent mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the UN called on the world body to condemn Israel for threatening Iran with a nuclear attack and bring the regime’s atomic weapons program under its supervision.
