Israel nuclear threat
Iran has called on the international community to condemn the recent nuclear threat made by the Israeli prime minister targeting the Islamic Republic. Iran’s permanent mission to the United Nations Office and other international organizations in Geneva made the call on the occasion of the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons. It said Iran is a victim of weapons of mass destruction and will effectively cooperate with other countries to help create a world free of nuclear weapons. This days after Benjamin Netanyahu said during his speech at the UN General Assembly that Iran must face "a credible nuclear threat".
West ‘economic terrorism’
Syria has called for the lifting of sanctions imposed by the United States and its European allies on other countries, describing them as economic terrorism. Syria’s UN Ambassador Bassam Sabbagh was addressing the 78th UN General Assembly session. He said Western sanctions were illegal, immoral, and inhumane. Sabbagh added that Washington’s policy in West Asia has destabilized the region and led to the emergence of terrorism. He called on the UN member states to join forces in establishing a new multipolar world order. Sabbagh also censured Israel’s violation of the UN Charter and international law through the occupation of Syria’s Golan Heights. He reaffirmed his country’s inviolable right to restore its sovereignty over the entire occupied Golan.
Russia-Ukraine war
Russia says its options are narrowing down to direct conflict with NATO, a day after Ukraine received US-made Abrams tanks. Dmitry Medvedev, deputy of Russia’s Security Council, said a direct clash between Moscow and NATO is more likely as the bloc has turned into an openly fascist alliance. His comments came following the recent delivery of Abrams tanks to Ukraine as part of a multi-billion-dollar assistance. Medvedev also listed pledges for more military assistance for Ukraine and said they would fail to change the circumstances on the battlefield. Relations between Moscow and NATO degraded after war between Russia and Ukraine began in February 2022. Russia says the Western military assistance to Ukraine will only prolong the war.
