Sweden’s planned anti-Iran draft resolution part of Israel, US plot: Qassemi
Tehran says Sweden's plans to submit the UN a draft resolution on Iran's human rights record is in line with a US and Israeli-led campaign aimed at promoting Iranophobia.
“The US and the Tel Aviv regime along with several of their allies have presented joint draft resolutions against Iran to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva due to a negative atmosphere against our country, aimed at creating a wave of Iranophobia since around seven years ago,” said Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi on Saturday.
The remarks came after Sweden unveiled plans to introduce a UN draft resolution on Iran’s human rights record on March 10.
Qassemi condemned the planned move and stressed that such actions are unfair, false, and are out of touch with the realities in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has already denounced “political manipulation” of human rights by Western countries against the world’s independent nations.
“Such moves are made while most of these countries have simply shut their eyes to the killing of innocent people in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, and the atrocities of the regional supporters of terrorism,” Iran's foreign ministry spokesman added, slamming West's double-standard approach to human rights issues.
Qassemi emphasized that Sweden’s anti-Iran draft resolution had nothing to do with a recent trip of Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven to Tehran earlier in the month.
